my why,
For me, I am in love with the invisible undercurrent of love and life. I am always seeking to preserve and practice it.
After a little chapter in my life that came with loss required me to find some buoyancy and stay afloat. Without knowing it I had chosen a camera to stay buoyant and speak the unspoken language through photography.
The impulse to choose the camera was strong and intrinsic. I was constantly being pulled to spy through a lens. For me the camera is a tender tool to gently enquire more and share my expression with others.
I was fascinated how a photograph could hold a moment forever still and never change. I was creating art my own heart yearned for and felt a deep sense of belonging as I created and practiced the art of photography.
The camera is so much more to me, it is the invisible medicene that helped me heal and savour a moment.
When others began to stand in front of my lens I loved nothing more than holding them gently, walking alongside and witnessing their stories and their hearts.
Photography is an anchor to see beauty, to feel, to remember.
Together we become memory keepers and make forever art.

Behind the lens, I grew up in the Atherton Tablelands, FNQ. Toowoomba is home for now and is where we have planted our feet to raise our 4 beautiful children, Bridie, Balun, Narah and Ryah aged 18-8 years. Loving their hearts and holding their hands is my biggest love. We slowly fix and renovate an old cottage. I help behind the scenes with my husbands creative building business. I love simplicity and a table full of creative projects at home. You will find me in a long dress and bare feet mostly. I am an observer. Watering my garden is a place I love to ponder. I am a lover of deep conversations, written words and poetry. The last couple of years I have studied different mediums outside of Photography; The Root Cause Practice a mind body healing method, Reiki and dream school. I have loved these deep dives into other worlds. I am a little shy and a big feeler. I love to be on this side of the lens peering through to visually tell a story. Natural light is a love of mine, it is like an emotion and brings such wonder to any moment. |
