Residing in Gold Coast Queensland Australia, I have always been obsessed with expression in any form. I have been practicing and creating in Watercolor and Ink based mediums for less than two years. Teaching myself to paint and draw without guidance has been one of the hardest and most rewarding gifts I could have ever given myself. To me my work has two sides, which I represent through the chaotic dripping paint and the fine structure of ink lines that coexist on paper. I have always had a wild imagination, however I believe there must always be balance in anything you do, which is why amongst the vivid colors and unpredictable splashes of paint, I use the fine lines of ink pens to bring a sense of calm and discipline to my work. Forming my identity as an artist has inspired me to face challenges, make mistakes, and push the boundaries of what is possible. Exploring creativity has led me to some of the most beautiful places around the world and within my imagination. I have always believed that imagination isn’t something you can teach, it cannot be trained, broken, or mastered. It does not recognize perfection, only beauty. It is a dangerous and glorious place, and for me it\'s the only place to begin.
