I am an artist based in the Yarra Valley, Melbourne. For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by nature and gardening. My parents have always been passionate about curating and cultivating our garden – there is virtually no space left untouched in our backyard, yet they are always finding more room to plant another plant.
I use my practice to communicate my encounters with my local environment to others. This body of work is inspired by nature’s acts of resistance and seeks to capture the organic, chaotic imperfections that make nature come alive.
