I was the Studio Feature Artist for the ‘Frida and Diego, Love and Revolution’ exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
The Studio is an interactive space for the public which encourages children and adults alike to engage creatively and respond to the work within the gallery.
I created an installation using papercuts and collages that responded to the Frida and Diego exhibition. The walls were painted bright colours and my papercuts were hung in perspex around the space. I filled large display tables with my collages and works on paper. I used a display case in the centre of the room to tell the story of Frida’s life in collage. Against the back wall I painted a mural of a tree of life from which I hung paper suns.
Over the course of the three month exhibition the public were encouraged to adorn the Studio with their own paper creations and soon birds, suns, flowers filled the entire room and mural. My papercuts were also used on a banner outside the gallery to advertise the Studio program and space.

Rita and Ben held their wedding reception at the Tamarama Surf Club in Sydney, New South Wales. I wanted to create a wedding invite that depicted the unique beauty of the location, as well as evoking the Modernist quality of mid century Australian artists, such as Margaret Preston and Grace Cossington Smith.

This collage was used for the front cover of Frankie Magazine issue 102.
This trio of collages was inspired by the intensely colourful, orgiastic and dreamlike paintings of Der Blaue Reiter.

I was the feature artist for Issue 02 of Howl Magazine.
I created a series of gouache paintings on the subject of motherhood. These paintings are tongue in cheek, dealing with breastfeeding, the mental load and the change in relationships that parenthood brings.

A series of sketches about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and motherhood.
A series of collages inspired by European folklore, including the myth of Reynard the Fox, a trickster figure that appears in French, German and English stories, the Russian folktale The Fisherman and the Little Fish and Angela Carter's feminist interpretations of well-know fairytales. This series is also influenced by Medieval tapestry and mid-century poster design.
