Hearth Galleries Healesville specialises in Aboriginal art and fine contemporary Australian arts.
I am intrigued by the immediacy, interactivity, tactile, emotional and social nature that art can bring to a space.
I am passionate about creating art experience that builds community ceremony and unity, repurposing and revitalising space, listening deeply to quiet voices, and sharing stories that reveal the interplay of the ecological and cultural forces of our landscapes.
