The Cancerian in me has always felt drawn towards water—allowing myself to be pulled towards it in my down time and my work. In the absence of words, feelings bubble to the surface in the form of images. Images of fishy friends, flamingos and fancy pants. Whether at home or on holiday,
I need water like I need air, and this collection of prints is a homage to that yearning. A thirst that can't ever be quenched.

HER PRACTICE INCLUDES ELEVATING EVERYDAY EXPERIENCES THROUGH GESTURE AND FORM, DRAWING FROM HER CHILDHOOD MEMORIES IN THE UK OR HER DAILY LIFE IN AUSTRALIA.
Storytelling the everyday. A practice exploring the human existence.
