Artist statement
I am an Australian artist working from my studio in Pambula on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. I completed a PhD in visual art at Australian National University in 2018. My practice-led research investigated the territory between painting and drawing with the painterly monotype which I found conducive to metaphoric associations with my themes of space, time and memory.
Over recent years I have explored aspects of my lived experience with the monotype including my relationship to interior and exterior spaces and the natural environs. In these investigations I have created various forms of expanded immersive monotypes such as assemblage, panoramic series and large composite works with the aim of triggering the viewers' memories of similar experiences. Most recently I have been involved in transforming visual art into digital form in collaboration with film makers.
The monotype as a distinctive form: a practice-led investigation into how the monotype can deliver affect.

News
Thank you to South East Arts and Create NSW for the CASP grant that allowed me to produce a pilot digital art work, Road Trip in collaboration with fil/digital artists from Far South Film Inc.
This pilot is an experimental work exploring the possibilities of a longer place-based projection work based on my monotype triptychs - it is hoped that this pilot will assist in securing further funding to extend the collaboration to more regional artists who can contribute editing, original composition and sound design and animation.
I was very happy to be engaged as a speaker for this conference: Regional and Public Galleries NSW Conference 2023, 2 March, in Bega Thankyou Iain Dawson from SECCA for the invitation.
