I was raised on faery stories and horror stories...often not a lot of difference between them when you really think about it.
My work has evolved from a childhood that was filled with imaginative play and has been influenced by countless artists and writers who have fuelled my imagination and inspired me to embrace my personal creative vision.
In my head, I'm still the nine year old who used to leave small pieces of cake in the garden for any faeries who might be passing through. I also have a particular fondness for monsters.
My work (both 2 & 3 dimensions) is grounded in a love of drawing, traditional media and processes, and storytelling.
I have worked as a figurative sculptor since 1994 and recently returned to University to pursue my lifelong love of illustration, gaining a degree in Visual Communication Design.
I am currently undertaking a Master Degree in Visual Art & Creative Practice, while working on my first picture book and teaching several classes in drawing and illustration Design at the University of South Australia.

Sculpting a fantasy bust
In this course you will design, build and paint an imaginative character bust for display on a custom-made pedestal.
A variety of media will be used to create your artwork, including paper clay, acrylic paints, fabric and found ephemera.
Concentration on the head and face will result in a deeper understanding of anatomy and expression as well as the creative possibilities of the materials used.
With one-on-one guidance every step of the way, you are limited only by the boundaries of your imagination!
