An artist is in a perpetual state of evolution and my art is a reflection of this.
My art often explores the concept of impermanence and the fleeting nature of existence, capturing the shared experiences of the human condition and the ever-changing world. Ultimately, I am in exploration of connection to audience on this level.
My work is often unconventional and I draw inspiration from a wide array of artists and genres; classic, contemporary and traditional craft. My art style is as diverse as these influences, employing mediums such as ice, shadow, fire and paper, and is conveyed in diverse mediums; sculpture, installation, video, photography, and performance.
I was invited to exhibit in the first-ever virtual exhibition at Wallace Gallery, NZ. Most notably, my work was selected by guest curator Paris Hilton for the NFT Liverpool Exhibition, UK. She also will be exhibiting at NFTNYC 2024.
Beyond creating art, I've had the privilege of working in a professional capacity for several galleries in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, where I've initiated and curated exhibitions, curated collections for purchasers, and served as a gallery coordinator.
