BIO.

I am a contemporary artist based in Perth, Western Australia. My work explores stillness, rhythm, and emotional presence through abstraction, drawing, and mixed media.

With a background in architecture and years spent living in Japan, my practice is shaped by an appreciation for simplicity, material sensitivity, and the quiet power of observation. I’m drawn to moments that are often overlooked, the pause between seasons, the way light settles, the feeling of being held by routine or nature.

PROCESS

I work intuitively and slowly, allowing each piece to unfold through layers, repetition, and restraint. My process is both meditative and exploratory, using materials such as watercolor, ink, charcoal, pencil, and collage.

Rather than depicting fixed narratives, I aim to create open works, pieces that invite reflection and allow space for personal meaning.

JOURNEY

When I was nine, my family moved from Vancouver to Perth. That early experience of displacement and longing for home shaped how I observe the world, and how I draw.

After training in architecture at the University of Western Australia, I spent almost a decade living in Japan, where I studied calligraphy, printmaking, and Japanese aesthetics. Those years deeply influenced my artistic voice, teaching me to value quietness, patience, and simplicity.

Today, my work is a way of processing emotion and offering others a visual space for pause and reflection. I hope my pieces act as gentle anchors, reminders that stillness has value, and that meaning often lives in small, attentive moments.
