My work focuses on the power of imagination to permit emotional and social wellbeing and connect us to environmental awareness and issues surrounding climate activism.
I paint, sew, print, draw, dye, use drills and nails and hammers to make things to go in homes, and I write a LOT; essays, songs, articles and currently a film script.
I am also Lone Cowgirl, I run in an open-air Outback cinema, wandering the hot, dry wilderness, waiting for the exodus to arrive.
I use leisure, literary and pop culture references to contextualise a conceptual fantasy land called the Swaglands.
This 'place' is a demonstrative template for ecologically enlightened and emotionally exploratory living.

Alongside my art practice, I design and make one-off garments as part of an eco-friendly clothing line called SWAG. I use reclaimed fabrics and natural dyes from kitchen by-products. I believe in artists using their methodology and materials to contribute to their overall message.
