Natural Connections,

Prints, Paintings, Ceramics and Artist Books by

11th April to 19th May 

“I am a Melbourne based artist working in my home studio in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs who enjoys working with many mediums predominantly printmaking.

The main printmaking processes I use are linocut, monoprint and collagraph and occasionally botanical Eco printing, cyanotype and dry point etching.

My work aims to celebrate and captures the local bird and plant species of my immediate environment, whether it be at home, my local reserves, or places I have travelled. I aim to capture the essence of the natural world not only in subject matter but also in choice of materials, sometimes incorporating elements found in nature into prints and paper sculptures.

Over the last few years, I have worked creating artist books, both as sculptural forms and bound journals and have recently added ceramics to further explore the natural themes in my art practice.

I regularly exhibit in solo and group gallery exhibitions”
