I am a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist, living on unceded Bunurong country, working in paint, textiles and mixed media.
Together with my husband, William Paul, I ran the Counterweave Arts Gallery & Workshop in Rome from 2017 until 2022. I curated 5 international exhibitions, taught textile workshops and mentored emerging artists.
