About Me

I create graphic novels about misfits, mysteries and worlds slightly askew.

I have always lived somewhere between words and pictures. I trained in illustration and screen production at Griffith University, and theatre design at the University of Melbourne, building a creative practice grounded in illustration, storyboarding and visual storytelling.

Across my work, I find myself returning to outsiders searching for where they belong, forgotten things finding new purpose, and characters discovering that what makes them different might also be their greatest strength.

My professional experience working in museums, galleries and archives has also shaped the way I see stories. Years spent surrounded by objects, images and fragments of the past have fed an enduring fascination with memory, meaning and the things people leave behind.

My middle grade graphic novel Scraps grew from a love of strange creatures and abandoned objects, and asks what happens when creativity exists inside a world built entirely on rules.

I am also developing two further projects. Bean Spirits, is a dark comedy/drama about two siblings who drive each other crazy in life and death, wrapped around a paranormal murder mystery.

Quantum Chook grew from my large-scale painting What If, in which four alien chickens arrive in an ordinary Australian backyard. I am now exploring the story and world beyond that single image.
