I am a freelance writer and mosaic artist who graduated from University of Queensland with a double major in Art History (Honours) in 2012. I'm passionate about the contemporary art scene and love helping artists translate their visual language into written form. Examples of my plain writing art style can be viewed in my blog.

Many artists struggle to write about their work for Artist Statements, catalogue essays or newspaper articles. This is where I step in. I work carefully and sensitively with artists to create a professional "public face" for their work - whether it's a quick edit of something they've written or an entire article for an arts publication.
In addition to tertiary qualifications, I've operated two retail art galleries in Byron Bay. This practical experience of 20 years in the art world enables me to write with clarity and conviction about contemporary art. Working as a freelance arts writer in Australia, I submit reviews and articles to Australian art blogs and international art publications.
I offer my skills to assist artists (both local and international) with all forms of art publicity.
