About the Artist
I walk in the urban, suburban, and rural landscapes using a variety of media to evoke the complex interactions intrinsic to walking. I am intrigued by the artistic, sensory, speculative, and critical potential walking brings to art. Walking crosses paths with numerous disciplines and allows me to express my varied interests in the arts and humanities. I published No Trespassing! The Art and Politics of Walking in New South Wales in 2022, that describes my walks from Sydney to Bathurst. I attended two International Walking Art Conferences in Europe where the fellowship of other Walking Artists inspired me to facilitate the Australian Walking Artists collective. I live and work in Sydney, NSW on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. I attended the National Art School and the UNSW School of Art and Design, completing a first-class Honours in 2016. I work as an independent artist and sometime high school teacher.
