About me

Gender Female
Location Melbourne, Australia
Introduction I studied Printmaking at the South Australian School of Art, completing a Bachelor of Art (Fine Art). I work mostly in linocuts and artist books, printing with water-soluble inks and Japanese papers. I construct 2D pieces and books using intricately cut lino prints, with paper cutting and thread. My inspiration comes from the fine details of nature, predominantly the native trees and plants of the Australian Mountain Ash forest. I am an active member of the Firestation Print Studio, an open-access printmaking studio in Melbourne, run by a team of dedicated artists. I regularly exhibit in FPS group shows.
