HELLO.
I am an Artist from the Northern Rivers near Byron Bay / Lennox Head, Australia. I was born genetically Deaf and neurodivergent, as such I was encouraged to use art as a form of self expression. From an early age, I learned to paint my world and communicate through a variety of artistic genres. I am fascinated by the beautiful chaos all around me that we call, life. I love to merge the old with the new and create art in mixed media with no rules. My art is an entanglement of emotions that words, literally, cannot express.
