Who is my art for?
Forest lovers, fans of the stunning South West coast, Cape to Cape walkers, and people that appreciate creativity.
You'll enjoy being able to see the paint in a painting and be surprised at what you can discover up close.
My art will help you to create a beautiful, unique, nature-inspired home that's filled with positive, personal memories.
​
If you are looking for a statement piece for your living area or bedroom, need some tree therapy for your study, or want to bring a touch of coastal colour to a quiet corner I invite you to explore my gallery.
CREATING MY dream job
Step by step I worked towards learning all that I could about art, creativity and paint.
​
Whilst my three children were at primary school I spent my days and late nights immersed in a fine art degree.
​
A decade later, I have two studios, a growing number of collectors around the world and most importantly, the ability to make people smile.
​
My art helps people who’ve fallen in love with the wild side of Margaret River, to remember and treasure their experience. It allows them to create a home filled with art that is not only beautiful, but has personal meaning.

Celebrate WITH paint
I believe that the art you choose for your home has the ability to reflect your personality and gives you a way of treasuring your family's history.
My paintings are inspired by a respect for the wild natural beauty of the Margaret River area and celebrate my own hike along the Cape to Cape Track.
They allow me to capture those times forever, recreating that magical feeling of walking through tall trees and along the stunning coastal paths.
By combining vibrant colours, unique marks and organic paint effects, with calming areas of space,
I hope to express nature's superpower to both restore and revitalise us.
If you have a deep connection to this special region, imagine that wonderful sensation of being surrounded by the colours and memories of Australia's South West in your own home every day.
Welcome to my gallery and shop - where you can explore my world of authentic, creative and colourful paintings.​​​

How are my paintings special?
Working from memory, I playfully add and subtract paint; smearing, dripping, sanding and scratching. A process of layering creates 'visual texture', which is full of surprises, happy accidents and unexpected combinations.
​
The tapestry of marks is then balanced by pleasing shapes of a solid colour, such as the sky and pathways.
This helps to form familiar land marks, suggesting a place, like Boranup Forest.
My paintings are full of life, but also calm - just like in nature. They are vibrant and familiar from afar, yet full of subtly and hidden detail up close.​​​
