I a m an artist based i n the Pilbara region o f Western Australia. Working primarily with metals such as steel copper, and brass, often sourced from recycled o r industrial materials creating robust, hand-crafted sculptures that celebrate the strength and character o f regional life. Having moved to the Pilbara i n 2015 drawing deep inspiration and connection from the area's unique landscape, powerful industrial presence, and the critical importance o f its rail networks. M y work explores themes o f resilience, unity, and the enduring spirit of the Pilbara's diverse community and culture through welding, fabrication and intuitive design processes developed from a young age. I transform scrap metals and recycled objects into meaningful, tactile sculptures. Being born and raised in the 1970s in the Hunter Valley New South Wales, I learned metalwork techniques from talented local tradespeople. I was a finalist i n the 2023 Jury Art Prize and continue to create work inspired b y personal stories of family, love, and the industrial environments that have shaped m y life. I am passionate about giving new purpose t o materials that might otherwise be discarded, contributing to the vibrant contemporary art scene.
