in Good Days, offers a vibrant vision as delicate and crisp as breath upon glass. The piece speaks of her own journey - each stroke a remembrance, each hue a quiet petition for hope and tomorrow. Hovering between sorrow and radiance, it is exquisite in its fragile joy. The work becomes a vessel of her spirit, reminding us that even broken days can yield miracles.” - Brett Lethbridge Judge’s Comment on winning The Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award, 2025 Driven by emotion and always searching for silver lining, I want my work to tell stories that reflect my personal experiences. I start with the story and then I escape into capturing the detail within a subject, a practice that provides relief from the pressure of reality. I find immense fulfilment in getting to the heart of things and making an authentic, human connection. I have always followed a winding, creative path since I was a child with Visual Arts being my strongest subject at school. I hold a Bachelor of Creative Arts/Law and have worked as a web designer, graphic designer and illustrator and have finally become what I have always wanted to be, an artist. Looking ahead, my goal is to carve out my own unique path and to fulfil my purpose of honouring the people who saved my sons life. 15% of all of my profits will go to the Heart Centre for Children at Westmead Children’s Hospital.
