About Me

I am an artist currently living and working in Darwin, on Larrakia Country. My practice is grounded in an ongoing attention to place, its tides, textures and quiet changes.

 

Through a research led approach, I return to open questions that feel ancient and unresolved: what is the ocean, how is the sky, and what are the threads that bind us to each other and the world around us?

My Artistic Journey

I grew up in northern India as a missionary kid, moving between cultures and ways of seeing. This early experience continues to shape my practice, informing an ongoing exploration of the relationship between people and place, and how cultural and environmental contexts intersect.

My family has a farm in northern lutruwita/Tasmania, and after finishing high school I returned to Australia to study. I completed a Diploma in Illustration at NMIT, followed by a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Deakin University and Honours at the University of Tasmania in 2020.

The COVID years brought me back to the farm, and the place held me for several years. I lived and worked on Tasmania’s northwest coast, developing a practice shaped by its coastline, weather and changing light.

 

I am currently living in Darwin, where I am continuing my studio practice while beginning to form a new relationship with place.
