EXPLORE MY ART...

From more than 600 entries being selected as one of 33 finalists for the UniSQ Biennial Art Award 2026 was already something I felt incredibly proud of… but the award night made it even more special.

What a mind blowing evening. The organisation, beautiful curation and speeches about the true power of art…to connect us, move us and tell stories ….reminded me exactly why I love being an artist.

Seeing SEA PETAL so beautifully curated, surrounded by such incredible work, was surreal.

A huge congratulations to both award winners @lilygracefriis & @sethgreen_art so well deserved!

The exhibition runs until 2 October so make sure you go and check it out! ✨

I think commissions are becoming my excuse to keep experimenting with colour… 😅 … another fun one ;)

One of my biggest passions with ceramics is experimenting with glazes… & this vessel was definitely one of those experiments….

Lots of glaze combos that created all these variations of blues, turquoise, purples and greens with unexpected reactions across the surface…

The result? a vessel that looks like it was lost in orbit for some time but somehow found its way back to Earth… & now holds flowers in my kitchen…..Quite a dramatic trip just to become a flower vase! ;)

Into the Woods 🍂

A closer look at all its little details and how they somehow come together to create the woodland I had imagined…

A place where I like to escape from the world. An imaginary fairy forest filled with butterflies, tangled leaves and hidden creatures. A place where magic exists and only good things can find you….

Where do you go when you want to escape the world?

Since childhood, mine has always been the same place…. an imaginary fairy woodland forest. A place filled with butterflies, tangled leaves and hidden creatures. A place where magic exists and only good things can find you.

I suppose I never really stopped going there…. 🌿

This commission made me very happy ….A whole little purple village! As a purple fan myself….making all these tiny houses in different shades of purple was so much fun.

I like to imagine that when no one is looking, tiny fairies move in… choosing their favourite little house, lighting the windows and turning it into their own magical purple village 💜✨

A little earthy commission fresh from the kiln… made with warm earthy textures and little botanical details.

I wanted each mug to feel connected to nature but still have its own personality. There is something I really love about making functional pieces like these… art that becomes part of someone’s coffee or tea ritual. 🍃🤎….

Whether it’s pastel skies or bright purple sunsets…these commissioned travel mugs have been such a fun little break from working hard on my vessels for upcoming exhibitions. I spend so much of my time creating larger sculptural pieces so I really enjoy having these smaller commissions in between… ☁️

There is something about the symbolism of the snake….Maybe that’s why this little tarot message felt so right for this piece: Growth sometimes asks you to shed what no longer feels true and choose what brings you back into balance ✨

Handbuilt snake platter available now at @thewoonook 🤍

Well….I have some more exciting news!!! ✨

I’m so happy to announce that SEA PETAL is a finalist in the 2026 UniSQ Biennial Art Award! @unisqaus @unisqcreativearts

Artists from every state in Australia entered this year so having one of my ceramic pieces selected as a finalist amongst so many incredible artists feels pretty special!

SEA PETAL blurs the line between wave and flower… Layered glazes create movement and depth, echoing water flowing over rock. The piece reflects my fascination with those places where nature and fantasy seem to naturally come together.

📍 UniSQ Art Gallery, Toowoomba
📅 Exhibition: 1 September – 2 October 2026
✨ Official Opening & Award Announcement: Friday 4 September

The Moon & The Sun… Two opposites…somehow belonging together. What do the sun and moon symbolise to you? I would love to hear your interpretation! 🌙☀️
