BIOGRAPHY

I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at the University of Ballarat Arts Academy in 2003, and in 2007 was awarded a scholarship to study a Master of Fine Art at the University of Dundee in Scotland.  I have since undertaken a number of residencies around the world including an Australia Council Studio Residency at the British School at Rome, at Australia House in Echigo-Tsumari, Japan, the University of Tasmania and Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston, and at Hill End and the Bundanon Trust in NSW.  In 2016 I undertook a three-month residency at DRAWinternational in Caylus, France, supported by the Ian Potter Cultural Trust and the Copyright Agency.  In 2019, I was awarded the Jon Schueler Scholarship, a three-month residency on the Isle of Skye in Scotland supported by the Jon Schueler Charitable Trust and the Scottish Arts Council.

In 2010 I received an Australia Council ArtStart Grant, and I have created and curated projects supported by Arts Victoria, the City of Melbourne and Regional Arts Victoria.  I have had solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Mildura, Bendigo, Bathurst, Ballarat, Launceston, Hobart and Japan along with numerous group exhibitions, and been a finalist in awards including the National Works on Paper, the Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award, the Paul Guest Award, and the Adelaide Perry Drawing Prize.  I have been a support artist and curator for Arts Access Victoria, working with artists living with disability and mental illness, a committee member of Artist-Run Initiative Space 22 in Ballarat, and an Associate to the Board of the Ballarat Arts Foundation as a member of their Grants Committee.

I currently live and work in regional Victoria on Dja Dja Wurrung country, and am represented by Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne/Naarm,

and Penny Contemporary in Hobart/Nipaluna.
