She spent a year from June 2021 to June 2022 working on a series of paintings documenting the Gold Rush in Charters Towers which were then converted into a mosaic mural covering the external walls of a shopping centre 80m long and 7 metres high and commissioned by Goldtower Central.

She was a finalist in the 2023 Clayton Utz Art Prize and the 2023 Kennedy Prize, and her latest achievement is being named as a finalist in the 2024 Australian Street Art Awards for her work on the Wall of History Mosaic Mural in Charters Towers.

2024 promises to be an exciting year with an invitation to conduct an oil painting workshop at the esteemed Schola Artis Pro Vobis in Assisi Italy in July

“Capturing light on form is my inspiration to paint. Each piece begins as an exercise in lighting form however as I paint it progresses into a spiritual journey where the painting becomes a reflection of what is going on in my life – the emotions, the responses to external events, and my ongoing spiritual reflection.“
