Behind the art

Based in Melbourne, Australia, I’m a neurodivergent artist and mother to three neurodivergent teenagers. Art has been part of my life for over 30 years — first as a refuge in childhood, and now as a powerful means of self-expression and connection.

As a self-taught artist working in the outsider art tradition, I create vivid, visceral pieces that reflect the rawness of the human condition. My work explores the complexities of living in a world not built for my neurotype, weaving together themes of adversity and suffering with deep threads of hope, resilience, and beauty.

I often work with recycled and found materials, letting each piece evolve intuitively. My art is not only sustainable, but emotionally rich — inviting you into a space of honesty, colour, and reflection.

In 2021, I illustrated my first children’s book, a milestone that marked a new chapter in my creative journey.

Sharing my art with others means the world to me. It’s more than just paint and paper — it’s my way of connecting, healing, and making sense of the world. I invite you to follow along and be part of this journey with me.
