23 July 2026 — PALANGI GALLERY 59 Flinders Street Surry Hills NSW 2010
I am participating in Nature of Australia, a group exhibition at Palangi Gallery celebrating the beauty and diversity of the Australian landscape through the eyes of women artists from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
Although each artist brings a unique perspective and artistic style, we are united by a shared appreciation for Australia's remarkable natural environment. Through different mediums, the exhibition reflects our personal connections to the land, its native flora, and the places that inspire us.
I will contribute with artworks from my bush and ocean series. It is a great pleasure to exhibit alongside such a talented group of artists and to contribute to this celebration of nature.

One question keeps coming up: what’s next? I’m delighted to share that my work has been selected as a finalist in the Hunters Hill Art Prize 2026. It’s an honour to be part of this exhibition alongside a strong group of selected artists, all coming together in the beautiful Hunters Hill Town Hall. The work I’ve entered, Soft Country — Eucalyptus Socialis, continues my exploration of Australian native trees — their presence, individuality, and the subtle complexity of their colour and form. If you’d like to see it in person, here are the exhibition details: Buyers’ Preview Thursday 21 May 2026, 7pm – 8pm Canapés and drinks available Opening Night Friday 22 May 2026, 6pm – 8pm Canapés and drinks available
Trained in the classical European school of realistic drawing and painting, I’ve worked across many mediums, but today I am best known for textural acrylic and oil works that focus on the individuality of Australian flora. My process begins with shallow sculptural relief backgrounds that capture the forms and textures of the bush. Onto these surfaces, I layer subtle hues and naturalistic details. From afar, the paintings often read as abstract compositions; up close, they reveal intricate studies of colour and form. As a newcomer to Australia, painting became my way of connecting with this land — learning its trees, flowers, and light through observation. I believe that when we truly know something, we begin to care for it. My work invites viewers to see the bush not as a uniform green mass, but as a collection of distinct, vibrant individuals.
