German-born and UK-raised, now a full blown Aussie! I spent the first part of my life legitimately believing that I was a character in an Enid Blyton novel. I roamed the cliffs, beaches and forests of Isle of Wight, making dens, collecting nature and creating stories in my head. 

These early days imprinted themselves on my identity, forming an unbreakable bond between my creativity and the natural world.

As I grew up, I found myself venturing into nature whenever I felt overwhelmed (so, every second day). The peaceful solitude of a hike through the woods anchored me in the present moment and allowed me reconnect with myself, a pastime that proved invaluable later in life.

Painting became my pathway to healing; My way to see past chaos, to make my world simple and kind and beautiful. It’s been the hardest thing and the best thing I’ve ever done.

Today, I transform creative chaos into calm with a signature artistic style focused on emotional richness and natural simplicity. 

I stumbled on my current style by painting white into a ruined canvas. As I stroked the brush across the collision of colours, it truly felt like I was digging out treasure. With every splash of white, a kind of elemental alchemy formed, conjuring circular, precious stones of colour and beauty. 

Eliminating areas that feel distracting or unnecessary has become one of the most important parts of my creative process.
