I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Kurow, working across photography, graphic design, illustration, sign painting, and large-scale murals.

 

My practice is grounded in craftsmanship, storytelling, and process-driven, hands-on work.

 

I have joined the South Star School committee to help support its transformation into a vibrant arts hub for the community.

I was born in Kurow and not sure why it took me over 60 years to find my way back but I'm so happy to be home again and to be part of the most amazing community I've ever been in.

 

In my creative practice, grapes are my medium and turning them into wine is my art.

 

I am part of South Star School because I support the vision that will do so much good and benefits to our community.

 

I love my role because of the joy it brings in helping people achieve a vision

A proud mother of 4 girls and 2 grandsons, I am also an active member of our local community society.

 

Early on, I saw my career path forged in creativity, fashion, colour, style and form.

 

Influenced by discarded 80s posters from my auntie's salon, I engaged in a hairdressing apprenticeship and as an honours student attained multiple placements competing in prestigious hair awards and had the privilege of styling the 2009 Women Firefighters Calendar!

 

Currently I’m on a personal journey of creative exploration in a playground of mixed media, modelling past and resin - using watercolour and automatic writing.

 

This fuels my passion to build the vision and philosophy behind South Star School by establishing a place to hold space for exploring, learning and shaping.

 

The ideas of breaking down rural barriers of our community by opening doors and opportunities to participate in self-expansion and well-being which nourishes the individual and strengthens the health of the whole community.
