As such her art is two-fold and explores both human experience and the natural world. A range of materials, such as ceramics, plant materials, watercolours and inks, are incorporated as she explores the human relationship with nature.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Growing up I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of time in nature and my art is influenced by my experience of the Australian wilderness. I find that there is something magical about these places and I am inspired by the intricate patterns and textures that I see around me.

Currently I am undertaking a neuroscience degree at the University of Adelaide. I am developing my practice further by incorporating my understanding of how the human mind works into my art. There are fundamental intersections between art and neuroscience. People are often fascinated by artworks as they are a window into another person’s mind and promote inquiry into the mental processes that inspired the artist’s imagination. I am continuing to explore how art can capture this idea and the cellular pathways behind these processes.
