I am a handmade paper artist and designer from Central Australia, now calling Central West NSW home.

​During my younger years I experimented in different mediums trying to find my niche and worked primarily in youth arts and theatre before being drawn back to Central Australia and realising my passion and skill for making handmade paper and handmade paper art using native grasses and natural materials.


My home is a constant and ever-changing source of inspiration and material for my art. There is something really exciting and humbling about working with materials that are, in every sense on the word, home.

I hold a permanent Artist in Residence position at Curtin Springs Paper specialising in handmade paper production and facilitating hand papermaking workshops. My role includes developing and producing new products in an economical and sustainable way, promoting Curtin Springs Paper products including tours, workshops and running the Curtin Springs Paper Artist in Residence Program.
