I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Kaurna people of Kaurna Country,
where I live and work, I would like to pay respects to the Elders both past and present.
Hi. My practice explores self-care in the everyday life, painting those small thoughts, fleeting feelings and ordinary moments into whimsical scenes. It is documenting, imagining and examining those personal yet common moments and introspection in the daily living that deserves more attention and questions. I want my work to be the space and time for such reflection, for viewers to think about the difficult feelings of overthinking, hesitation, fear etc, to give meaning to those mundane moments, and to ask what it means to find comfort for oneself nowadays.
Working with acrylic and in digital, I use vibrant colours, bold lines and playful compositions to create dreamscapes with an animated, graphic aesthetic.
