Iām a self-taught artist based in Brisbane, and I didnāt even pick up a paintbrush until I was 29. In 2020, I started playing with acrylics out of pure curiosity. No formal training. No master plan. Just a spark and the courage to follow it.
Before that, becoming an artist felt unrealistic. Now it feels inevitable.
What began as a simple āletās see what happensā quickly turned into something much bigger. Painting became my language. My outlet. My way of turning energy into colour.
My work is bold, structured, and unapologetically vibrant. I donāt do shy colours. I build compositions with intention, layering movement and personality into every piece. I want my paintings to do more than sit quietly on a wall. I want them to change the mood of a room. To spark conversation. To make someone feel something the moment they walk in.
When I paint, time disappears. I enter a zone where instinct takes over and doubt doesnāt get a vote. I rarely know exactly how a piece will end, and that unpredictability is the best part. The magic lives in the process.
Thereās something powerful about the sound of brush against canvas. Itās raw. Itās alive. It reminds me that I started this journey simply because I dared to try.
And Iām just getting started.
