I create artworks in partnership with place.

Using botanical inks, natural pigments, textiles, and earth-derived materials, my work explores the relationships between landscape, memory, ecology, and belonging. Rather than representing nature, I collaborate with it—allowing the materials of a place to become part of the artwork's voice.

Through slow observation and experimental processes, I seek to uncover the stories, energies, and connections held within the land. Each work invites a deeper way of seeing: one that recognises we are not separate from our environment, but woven into it.

I invite you to explore the places that have shaped you, and to discover what becomes possible when we enter into a creative partnership with the world around us.
