I am an artist and art educator currently living in Miriwoong Country in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Prior to moving here in early 2025 I was based in lutruwita/ Tasmania.

 

My creative work considers how walking and drawing can be creative forms of critical inquiry and dialogue with place. As a settler-descendent living in Australia, the challenge of how to address the complexities of walking and making in unceded territories is an important question. My work considers how walking and drawing practice can enliven sensory perception and enable re-conceptualisations of place that can nurture ethical relations. My practice is informed by critical place theory, walking as practice, and a rich material knowledge of printmaking and drawing. My creative outcomes result in prints, drawings and artist books, performative and time-based drawing interactions, multi-form installations and writing. 

​

I graduated from ANU School of Art in 2006 and in 2018 I completed a PhD at the School of Creative Arts and Media at the University of Tasmania. 

I consider my creative and teaching practices as vital companions and I am currently working as the Artist Development Facilitator at Waringarri Aboriginal Arts in Kununurra, WA. Prior to this I was lecturing  in Printmaking & Drawing and Critical Practices at the University of Tasmania (2014 - 2023) and the Australian National University (2009 - 2012). I have worked as a printer and workshop facilitator for Basil Hall Editions intermittently since 2012 and I was the Press Studio Manager at Megalo Print Studio & Gallery, Canberra (2007 - 2011).

​

My work is held in significant public collections, and I have exhibited and undertaken residencies nationally and internationally. ​Residencies have played a key role in my practice enabling me to explore questions in my practice within new places and contexts. In 2024 I was invited to co-curate the Walking as Practice Residency at Björkö Konstnod, Sweden. Other residencies include the Tasmanian Residency: Arthur River (2020/21), Craft ACT: Talking Water Residency (2013), Bathurst Regional Gallery Hill End Residency (2013), Women’s Studio Workshop Artist Book Fellowship, Rosendale, NY (2012), and Black Church Print Studio International Residency, Dublin, Ireland (2011).  In recent years I have focused on collaborative projects and group exhibitions and am part of the 'nowhere' Print Collective. Our most recent exhibition Latitude was shown at Print Council of Australia (PCA) Gallery, Melbourne (2024). In 2018 I was commissioned to create a performative drawing for Performing Drawing at the National Gallery of Australia. My work is held in print and artist book collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Bank, Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem, Sydney and the Library of Congress, Washington DC.
