about
I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Melbourne, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UNSW.
Working with abstracted realism and disrupted portraiture I attempt to translate internal emotional states into visual interventions. Anxiety and passion are reimagined as obstructive, transformative elements within the image that obscure or alter the figure to reframe our perception of the emotion.
​
More recently, my work explores how time can be experienced as simultaneous rather than linear, focusing on the charged space between figures, objects, and moments.
