I hope my work inspires in others a sense of wonder, playfulness, joy, and appreciation for nature.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to paint and draw. As a child I longed to (and sometimes did) draw on the walls, so it is a delight to be able to do so as a grown-up, without getting in trouble.

I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts (painting major) from Southern Cross University in Lismore, Australia, which I completed whilst on exchange at Pratt Institute in New York.

Living in New York for several years after graduating from art school gave me the opportunity to be surrounded by tonnes of inspiring art and culture – from exquisite classics in art museums to a plethora of cutting edge contemporary art, street art and murals.

I am also a trained graphic designer and use a combination of hand-painting and digital skills in creating murals and art prints.

Here at Land of Wonderful, the focus is on creating art for people to enjoy outside of an art gallery… both on walls in public spaces and in private homes.

I also create original fine art drawings, paintings and sculptures, which have been exhibited in private and public galleries, including all of the major regional galleries in Northern NSW.
