Biography

Revolting from a career in fashion, I attended art school in Sydney and Los Angeles, majoring in Fine Art Print-media. My artistic career has, eventually, included a return to the fashion industry as a stylist. This work, alongside my art making, informs my research at University of Newcastle as a Print-media lecturer and researcher.
