I. LOVE. COLOUR. 💙💜❤️ I’m a Melbourne-based artist with a passion for bright, catch-your-eye, joy-inspiring art.

I’m also a doctor and for 10 years worked in pathology, a very visual job, looking down the microscope diagnosing diseases.

Sadly this was often diagnosing cancer, and my job also involved helping families with the deaths of loved ones, which I consider a privilege. I found myself drawn to bright colour, to make sure joy was brought into the everyday, at work, at home.
I was always a creative, arty kid, then a creative arty adult, and painting is my outlet, but after seeing so much suffering I wanted to share bright and colourful art with others, to brighten their spaces, their days.
These days I work in a different area of medicine, and make more art, which brings me joy.
