I am a Canadian Australian artist from New South Wales. I live in a small north coast village with my rockstar husband and two sons. I paint at least five days a week unless I’m child wrangling or sneaking drinks from the band’s rider backstage. Painting keeps me sane, but not serious.

My work has a cast of children whose stance and attitude is full of the bravado, nonchalance and swagger of youth. It is very nostalgic and has a bit of a sense of humour. I see kids as these amazing creatures that are perfectly imperfect. Everyone seems to be in a rush to guide kids into adulthood and responsibility, but I’m happy if they want to hang out with a giant squirrel while wearing a Viking helmet and cowboy boots. I think childhood’s an amazing time and quite funny!

I have shown in Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. I have worked as a portrait artist in Paris, Amsterdam, Mexico and Byron Bay.

I work in a variety of mediums including acrylic, water colour, pastel and pencil. I create original pieces for gallery shows and private sales and commissioned pieces.
