ABOUT 

I am a designer, fabricator and visual artist.

In recent years I have worked primarily in costume for commercial theatre, however I am proud to have a broad history of experience within relative fields and disciplines including Soft Fabrication, Art direction & Set Dressing, Make-up and FX, Wig and Hair Styling, Art finishing, Puppet and Prop Making, Scenic painting, Carpentry and Ceramics.

I call upon this history in the work I do every day and plan to continue exploring skills and building this wonderful collection until my hands wont let me anymore.

I have had the honour of working with many companies and collectives in my life as an artist.

Some highlights include Punchdrunk Immersive Theatre, Don't Look Away, A Blank Canvas and the Creature Technology Company.

"As an artist, I am interested in the insensitivity within the urgent reach for perfection and resolution.

I want to stop myself trying to rush to the end. I'm practicing taking pause and enjoy the beauty and misery in the imperfect, messy, stressful process"
