Connecting with the arts has always created balance for other aspects of my life. From my earlier studies in theatre and photography, to recently reconnecting with the lens and drawing on my directing past to curate gallery space.

Observer | Facilitator | Participant
I am drawn to the arts through various mediums – as an observer; as a facilitator/director/curator; as a collector; as a participant.
Photography – My images are influenced by my previous studies in theatre and photography. I am interested the representation of everyday scenes through abstractions and shapes, storytelling through the frame of a lens.
Curating – My background in directing for theatre informs my curation style. I am interested in the narrative created by artworks interacting within a gallery space.
