ME.

DEGREE.   Bachelor of Creative Arts, Majoring in Contemporary Art.  3^rd year.

ME.    I heart glamour! Think stilettos, martini glasses and Prada, stirred not shaken, with a drop of sardonic humour. With the majority of my work you get a glimpse into the working of my mind where things are turned upside down and taken completely out of context, by unassumingly strutting into my personality; visually facetious and always with a serious pair of stiletto’s!

The work I do consists of mixed media, installations, visual art and photography. My art steers away from the washed out colours and mashed up abstract monsters that is very much typical of today’s art. Instead I like to smother my art with a recipe of contrasting colours, vivid sprays, attitude and the aspect of hot. My photography and artwork is stylish and sometimes humorous using unexpected eccentric objects and themes.

The most current exhibition I was in was ‘Kiku Collective- Chrysanthemum Tea’ and ‘Tinygold-Tales of the Cold Ghost’. I recently curated the Café Arts Public and Project, and Profile.
