About
My work spans intricate mixed media works and public sculpture. I take on a wide range of techniques from the ultra-traditional to the cutting edge contemporary. I am an award-winning Australian artist and my works can be found in prestigious international public and private collections.
I have had twenty-four solo shows in Australia and solo exhibitions in Budapest (2016) and St. Petersburg (2018). In 2024 I exhibited in the 21st AAmA International Art Exhibition in Italy and China. In 2019, I exhibited and took part in the Synergia International Painting Festival hosted by CETYS University in Baja California, Mexico. I represented Australia in the 18th Asian Arts Biennale at Shilpakala Academy, Dhaka in 2018. I was awarded the Inside Out Billboard commission by the City of Joondalup in 2017 and the ANZAC art commission by the City of Wanneroo in 2015. In 2016 she represented Australia at the G20 Art Agenda at Hangzhou China.
