BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1981 and studied Fine Arts with a major in Sculpture at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand.

My practice leverages the canon art history to unravel and atomise significant art works to their component parts to create new topologies and uncover structural essence.

I reside in Port Chalmers and have worked as a secondary school teacher for many years, teaching art and design courses.
