I am a photographer based in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. Being surrounded by extraordinary farming landscapes inspires my work on a daily basis.
Artworks: 34
I have always been creative – knitting, sewing and crocheting as a child. I made my first piece of clothing when I was eight and I became addicted to making things.
Growing up and working, study and family swamped my life. Until one day, I read an article about a new Nikon camera – I was in love. Not knowing one end of the camera from the other, I spent every spare moment taking photos, reading books and attending photography groups to learn everything I could.
Then I started to draw and paint. I became enamoured with colour and creating the unusual. On the prompting from my husband, I enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Art through Open University Australia and learnt so much.
Having recently completed my Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) focussing on photography, I am enjoying the freedom of experimenting with photography. Experimenting with light and abstraction to investigate new interpretations of the family farm landscape.
I have been fortunate enough to have been selected as a finalist for the Australian Photography Magazine’s Photograph of the Year award, Mullins Conceptual Photography Award (MCPP) and the Ravenswood Women’s Art Award.
My work also can be found in the permanent collection of the Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre.
