Welcome to my colourful corner of the world. I'm an Australian expressive realism acrylic painter who believes in bold strokes, loose layers and the joy of capturing personality, presence and moments in time on my canvas.

Meet the Artist
Art isn’t just what I do – it’s how I connect, communicate and care.
Through expressive realism, I explore the stories we carry and the beauty we often overlook. With each brushstroke, I’m inviting you into a moment – sometimes gentle, sometimes bold, always meaningful.
Expressive Acrylic Art with Heart
The soulful gaze of a pet. The whisper of a breeze through eucalyptus leaves. The shimmer of sunlight on fur. I paint to share emotion and the stories hidden in plain sight. People often tell me they can see the quirky personality of the furry or feathered friend I’ve painted – like the artwork is about to blink or demand a snack. That spark of connection is my favourite kind of magic – joyful, slightly mischievous and made visible through brushstrokes.
