Her work is an exploration of repetition\, process and random difference within uniformity\, in which series of works are created by repeated combinations of simple elements\, often leading to inevitable imperfections.Everything at Once brings together a series of oil‑on‑canvas works into a single large‑scale installation. Each painting translates a written quote—from artists\, writers and philosophers spanning 320 BC to 2024—into a geometric field of squares and circles\, turning reflections on art‑making into visual patterns that obscure their original meaning.Using stencils to make the work introduces chance into the process\, randomising colour placement and revealing unexpected relationships. When assembled\, the individual works also generate a new\, accidental narrative. Across the installation\, chance\, process and perception shape both the making of the works and the meanings that surface.

Young artists will capture movement through line and colour\, experiment with mixed media collage\, explore ideas of place\, play with shadows\, develop expressive mark making\, and create artworks inspired by land and sky. With time spent working both freely and on the easels\, young artists will build confidence\, develop skills and be encouraged to explore their own ideas in a supportive and imaginative environment.  \n\n\n\nEach week\, students begin with a guided gallery visit with an artist educator\, exploring artworks and ideas as inspiration. This is followed by studio-based artmaking activities ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media\, where participants experiment with materials\, learn new techniques\, and develop their own creative responses.  \n\n\n\nLocation: Yarrila Arts and Museum  Dates:  8-week intensive after school program during Term 2\, 29 April to 17 June 2026Time: 4:00 – 5:30pmCost: $100 for the 8-week programAges: 8 – 12 year oldsAll materials provided\, aprons available but old clothes recommended.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCreative Kids vouchers accepted.

Rather than documenting the Australian interior\, the photographs act as meditations on perception\, memory\, and atmosphere\, where seeing is inseparable from feeling.Composed through quiet attention to light\, texture\, and form\, the images gather fragments of the in-between: roadside geometries\, weathered surfaces\, and shifting spatial tensions. Together\, they reveal a subdued Australia\, shaped by suggestion rather than spectacle.Within the Great Southern Land\, the landscape emerges as both vast and intimate – marked by distance\, resilience\, and quiet transformation. Human presence lingers only in traces\, set against the enduring scale of the land.Balancing observation and interpretation\, the series blurs the line between document and image. It becomes a space where place and memory converge.Ultimately\, West Of Somewhere East is a study in attentiveness\, a quiet meditation on movement\, perception\, and the enduring resonance of the Australian interior.
