Welcome to my online gallery!
I specialise in animal portraits, with a focus on Australian native wildlife. I also create pet portraits on commission.
On the ‘sketches’ page, I share my creative practice with a gallery of formative sketches.

Who am I?
Born and raised in South Australia, I am passionate about connecting with nature and inspiring others to do the same. I’m also a mother to a young nature enthusiast.
I’m a life-long learner, with diverse career experience, from horticulture and landscape design, to emergency services and, more recently, doing a degree in evolutionary biology, with honours in marine ecology. That led to my PhD - a deep-dive into human-nature connection, what it means and how to enjoy the benefits of good relationships with nature.
My art practice was neglected in my youth, but I returned to it in 2021, during a difficult time. Recognising that artistic expression was my ‘first love’ - that it sustains me and gives my life meaning more than anything, I’ve been working at it ever since.
