I’d like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I work and live. I would also like to pay my respects to Elders
past, present and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
I fell in love with music as a kid and I picked up my very first camera at the age of fourteen. Since then, I’ve been fuelled by a passion for storytelling through movement, voice, and imagery, be it in photographic stills or moving pictures.
Music, film, and dance are constant influences in my work with a focus on exploring themes of gender, identity, and sexual diversity.
Outside my own practice and business, I am the Creative Director for the international print magazine, Archer, which provides a print platform for lesser heard voices through stories and pictures, and most recently, a content creator for Passionfruit Sensuality Shop.
In November 2018, I launched Cat Scratch Studio, an artist-friendly studio space that provides creators, specifically women and gender diverse creatives, a space to explore their creative ideas; activists, creatives, and community organizations work their butts off to progress this planet forward, so the need for a safe space to connect and collaborate I feel is imperative to share knowledge and bridge community gaps.
When I’m not circling in a world of pictures, the love of my life is travel. My barefoot wanders have led me to Central America, Europe, Africa, the United States and most recently a few camper van trips around Australia!
In 2021, after a fifteen-year journey, I was finally diagnosed officially with endometriosis, a full-body life-long chronic condition that has affected every aspect of my life for over a decade. Since the diagnosis, I have shifted focus to returning to personal projects I’ve longed to do. Now with a newfound focus and understanding of my body, my brain, and that precious thing we all call time.
