I’m a Narm/Melbourne-based painter, muralist, designer, and arts consultant who uses art to articulate the many divisions between public and private, and to draw attention to the systems of delineation that shape how we navigate the world.

I do this by employing contemporary collage practices to construct painted public and studio artworks. Often working with the ‘non-image’ — the backgrounds or voids of found imagery — my compositions amplify the thresholds between object and space, visibility and intentional omission.



My tenure as a public artist and brand designer spans almost 2 decades, so to each project I bring a deep understanding of how images play a role in perception and power.
I hold a Certificate IV in Visual Art, a Bachelor's in Fine Art (Visual Art) and am a current Master of Visual Art. I have exhibited in Queensland, Victoria, and San Francisco, and have participated in residencies across Australia, Mexico, Spain, North Africa, and the U.S.A. My painted contribution to public art extends to national and international projects.


Locally, I’m an Arts mentor for various Australian Councils and have held teaching positions at Australian design colleges and universities. I am also an Art Project Coordinator at Brunswick’s Weston Rumbold Art Projects.
