'Ivanhoe' Series
This is my latest work and it embodies an eclectic style inspired by the landscapes and Indigenous culture of this beautiful land. As I deepen my understanding of my connection with my mob, my perspectives evolve, enriching my art. It brings me joy and I want to share that with my customers.

'Puti-puti II' shows wattleseed pods, wattleseeds, Native Milet plants and seeds and Spinifex seed pods.

This piece captures the force and rejuvenation of flood waters. Yes they can be very distructive too but the Willandra Creek system is such a lifeforce for our land and animals that the flood waters are welcomed, more often than not. The water flows in whatever direction it can, meandering across the plains refreshing the ground and inviting birds and animals to drink. Black swans, pelicans and even seagulls flock to watery lands and we even had fish swimming up the bitumen roads.

'Bold Beauties' Series
This series is inspired by the many beautiful, strong and captivating women that I have close to me in my life. They are my inspiration on so many levels. Each piece has specific colours and fauna chosen for the love and support each woman has provided me and, I hope, I have recipricated in our relationships.
'Charnea'

This piece is for a friend in Victoria- she brightens my world each and everytime we speak or spend time together. The banksia seed pods remind me of a stroll on a pier with the plants growing wildly in the sand.

These pieces are inspired by my friend who has been by my side for longer than I can remember. She is bold, bubbly and compassionate. She has a liking for King Proteas and wattle and I like them together here in shades of green, warm yellow and bright red.

These works are a tribute to a softly spoken, smart, considerate friend who balances so much on her plate but still finds the time to spread warmth and joy. She is like the everlasting daisies and flanal flowers that bring a smile to my face.
