I’m a printmaker, artist and educator based in Maleny, Queensland.
I work with many different printmaking methods to explore nature, memory and feeling.
I find calm in the process — carving, inking, pressing — and in sharing what I know with others.
Printmaking keeps me present. Teaching connects me to people.
Both are rooted in my love for paper, process and place.
A long love of print
Ink runs through my veins. I’ve loved printing for as long as I can remember — from potato stamps as a child to working in commercial printing and graphic design.
After 30 years in advertising and marketing, I missed the hands-on work. I ran my own digital agency for over 15 years, but I couldn’t shake the pull back to print.
In 2009, I left Brisbane and moved to Maleny. It was time to reconnect with what felt true.
My art practice
I specialise in reduction linocut — a slow, layered process that lets me carve, think and carve again. Some prints take weeks. I love that.
But I also work across many processes:
monoprinting, etching, cyanotype, eco-printing, letterpress, screenprinting and even printmaking on clay.
There’s never enough time for it all, but I’m happy trying.
My art is inspired by nature — quiet, quirky and grounding. A bush walk. A leaf in the driveway. A bird’s call in the morning. These moments become images, textures and printed marks on paper.
Teaching printmaking
In 2018, I launched my own printmaking workshops — a childhood dream turned real.
Now I teach small group classes from my own studio in North Maleny.
I keep things simple, clear and practical.
Printmaking can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. There are accessible tools, modern materials and ways to print at home — without needing a big press or studio.
Whether you’re curious, creative, or returning to art after a long break, I’ll meet you where you are. We’ll work with your hands. We’ll go at your pace. And you’ll leave with skills, confidence and your own beautiful prints.
