Kaurna, Narrunga, Mirning, Kokatha, Ramindjeri

I am a contemporary Aboriginal artist connected to Kaurna, Mirning, Narrunga and Kokatha peoples, born and raised on the Eyre Peninsula and now creating in Port Lincoln on Barngarla country.

Art has been part of my life since childhood; in the late 90’s I won an art competition for both acrylic on canvas and sculpture, marking the beginning of a lifelong creative journey.

After losing my father in 2016, I felt a deep disconnection from my Aboriginality. Returning to painting became my pathway back - helping me reconnect with him, my culture, and the stories that shaped me.

For more than 20 years I have quietly created and sold artworks that blend cultural memory with contemporary expression. My practice centres on telling modern-day stories through weaving together heritage, identity and lived experiences.

Today, I create with renewed purpose; honouring my ancestors, healing through story, and sharing works that speak to both the strength of culture and the beauty of its evolution.
