I am an Aboriginal artist based in Newcastle, NSW, creating contemporary works that reflect my connection to Country, culture and identity. My art practice has grown alongside my journey of reconnecting with my ancestors, including reclaiming my great-grandmother’s name.

I work primarily with acrylic on canvas, exploring patterns, movement and colour to tell stories of connection, strength and continuity. My work is inspired by community, lived experience and the resilience of Aboriginal people.

Through my art, I aim to create spaces for reflection, pride and cultural visibility, while sharing stories in a way that feels both personal and accessible.
