2025 Craft + Design Canberra Daily Creative Challenge Finalist 

Artist Statement | I am an artist from Canberra, working in a variety of mediums. Among favourites are, illustration, textiles and the written word. 

My art is inspired by the liminal spaces of life. These places of uncertainty, tension and change interest me for their potential for transcendence. In particular, I look for the moment where polarity and paradox give way to something greater.

This challenge broke a years long artistic dry spell. Letting the prompts lead the way, fabric and thread spoke loudly to me throughout the month, especially the humble blanket stitch. I’m excited about the possibilities here and exploring this stitch further!
