The need to create that goes beyond choice
I don't choose to be an artist, I just am. It is an intrinsic part of me and I have to make things to fully express myself.

The personal journey of Self
My pieces speak of my development as a human being - my inspirations, complications, growth.

The explorations of and connection to my ancestry and my place of birth
Part Sicilian, part Swedish, born in Australia I seek to understand the reflections of my past and present in me. Blacksmith, fashionista, farmer, hunter. Australian, ethnic, belonging and not belonging. Lover of the sea, the forest and the bush. Lush green on green, concrete jungles, vast rust-soiled lanscapes.

The texture of the present moment
Each piece I create is hammered, scratched, scored. The mark of my mood upon material that will hold that imprint.
