I’m super excited to announce a new body of work "Everything Will Be All Light" (a vibrant collection of abstract expressionist paintings). I’m exhibiting these at a solo exhibition in Melbourne’s CBD!
Painting this collection has been my lifeline in getting through rough times, including three lockdowns spent alone. I ask myself “what is perfect in my life right now, today, exactly as it is?” I look for it. Sometimes it is an internal feeling; sometimes it is the way the light is playing in a tree. I sit with it, focus on the details, and paint it.
It’s been a super tough time for a long time but there is colour and hope in every day, even the most gruelling days. Learning how to make ourselves look for it and notice it, even when we are having a rough time, is a practice. It’s not easy, but it’s a powerful way to reclaim a sense of power.
We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond, how we interact with the world, and train our brains to pay attention to things that make us feel more connected to the present moment!
My hope is that these artworks make you feel light and hopeful about a bright future, and also remind you of the magic that already exists in this current moment.

Drink and Draw: Learn How to Draw Like an Artist
I'm running 2 drink and draw nights to celebrate (free entry, materials provided), where I'll be sharing some of my drawing techniques for cultivating calm and hope in times of intense stress. I would be honoured to have you there. (It’s also totally fine to come along just to sticky beak and not draw.) I will also be singing one of my new songs on these nights.
