I am a multimedia artist with a Master of Art degree in art history, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing. I have had a rewarding career in fine art, encompassing international awards and works in public and private collections.

My art practice explores a variety of mediums, privileging acrylics on canvas or wood, which springs from my earlier interest in egg tempera. I am also proficient in printmaking techniques, but equipment access restrictions limited my output.
