my story
From Corporate to Canvas
I’m a New Zealand–born, Australian–based artist creating original acrylic paintings inspired by still life, nature, and everyday objects full of personality and charm. My work blends realism with abstraction — colour, rhythm, and those unexpected details that make you stop and look twice.
For over two decades, I worked as an online marketing designer while raising my two young girls, and during that time painting quietly waited in the background — a passion on pause. Now, the timing feels right. I finally have the space to dive into the work that truly lights me up.
I paint what inspires me — from cacti and cocktails to objects that feel ordinary on the surface but hold a certain character when you really look. Each brushstroke is layered with movement, warmth, and a touch of surprise, created to bring joy and energy into your space.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me exploring ideas, enjoying nature, or sharing creative chaos with my family. Sharing my art online has been a way to reconnect with that lifelong passion, and my hope is that these paintings bring a little of that happiness and curiosity into your world too.

to create original art that sparks conversation and brings a sense of wonder into your home. I believe that abstract art has the power to connect with people on an emotional level and transform a space.
