A practiced artist based in Adelaide, South Australia, this creator's passion for drawing and painting has been a lifelong journey. With a Bachelor of Arts (Visual) and an Advanced Diploma in Design and Media, their extensive education fuels a practice centred on life drawings, etchings, and gilding. Driven by a profound connection to the human form, the artist’s work transcends mere technique, capturing the emotional depth and raw fragility of human experience. Each piece reflects an intimate dialogue between artist and subject, revealing the essence of the human spirit. In their artistic evolution, the artist has embraced the delicate intricacies of intaglio printmaking and the ethereal beauty of gilding. The inclusion of gold leaf introduces a luminous, transcendent quality, where light and texture interplay to create rich layers of meaning. Balancing the fluidity of visual art with the structured precision of graphic design, they navigate the competing principles of expression and clarity, exploring where intuition meets discipline. This ongoing fusion of mediums allows the artist to continuously expand their expressive language, evoking narratives that resonate with both the seen and unseen aspects of the human condition, while embodying a harmony between spontaneous creation and design's purposeful order.
