Utilizing ochre, coal, clay, and soil gathered from diverse locations during my travels, I meticulously transform these natural materials into paints, crafting vibrant abstract realms. This practice of using found organic materials underscores an emphasis on the natural world, serving as a conduit for emotional and philosophical contemplation.
I was born in a commune in Nimbin, NSW and grew up on the road, even residing in India for several years during my early childhood. Trained in Melbourne as an actor and theatre director, I spent the better part of a decade in Berlin, presenting experimental performance pieces in diverse settings, ranging from occupied squats to prestigious classical music venues.
Returning to Australia in 2019, I put my performing arts career on hiatus to focus on my work as a painter.
Concluding a two-year odyssey traveling along the east coast of Australia, my first solo exhibition 'Silent Hymns' was presented at Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne in 2023.
