10 July 2026 — & Something Else Gallery 1 /8 Belgrave st, Manly 2095
I am delighted to share that two of my artworks have been selected for The Language of Flowers, a curated group exhibition at & Something Else, a new contemporary gallery in the heart of Manly on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
I am grateful for the opportunity to exhibit alongside a talented group of Australian artists.
The Language of Flowers celebrates the beauty and symbolism of flowers, inviting to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world through botanical forms. The exhibition brings together diverse artistic approaches inspired by growth, renewal, transformation, and the fleeting beauty of flowering life. As an artist, nature has always been at the heart of my practice. I am excited to contribute to this conversation through my selected works.

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
Books have always felt magical to me. Unlike social media, they don’t disappear into a feed — they stay in your hands, on your shelf, and in your life. A book captures what’s important and preserves it for generations. And to make that experience meaningful, every detail matters. Over the years, I’ve worked on many publications — sometimes creating the layout, other times designing covers, illustrations, or managing the entire visual direction. One of my favourite projects was Taste of Ukraine, published by the Australian Publishing Company (sovabooks.com.au). I created the cover illustrations and the full layout — and the book went on to win the 2013 Gourmand World Cookbook Award. I’ve also worked with community organisations, including Ukrainians Down Under for AFUO, where I served as both editor and designer for their catalogue. Four Jubilee Book for Intersession of Holy Virgin Parish is one of the thickest and most comprehensive publication I’ve worked on to date. Each book is its own world — structured, tactile, permanent. And I love shaping those worlds so they’re clear, beautiful, and built to last.
