Themes of travel, nostalgia, and belonging are woven throughout her work, inviting viewers to reflect on the journeys that shape our lives.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs across Australia and is held in private and public collections both nationally and internationally. She has been a finalist in several respected art prizes, including the Lethbridge Art Prize and the John Leslie Art Prize.
