Biography

TIMELESS BRIDGE.jpg

As a Land Artist, I work directly in the landscape, using found local natural materials and allow the stories and characteristics of a place to directly inform the work.  With a BA Fine Art and BA (Honours) Public Policy/Social Ecology, I have been involved in many outdoor exhibitions nationally and internationally, including Sculpture By The Sea, Cottesloe, Bondi, Aarhus, Land Art Poland, Guandu Sculpture Exhibition, Taiwan and kNOw Nature, India.

Passionate about helping communities connect with Nature, I have facilitated many Community Land Artworks.
