About

I am a Berlin based Australian artist working across photography, painting, film, and new media. My practice uses vivid color palettes and, at times, surreal and dreamlike imagery to create emotional resonance and invite viewers into contemplative states. My work reflects on transcendental moments of the human spirit, the beauty found in the mundane, and our inseparable connection with nature.

Alongside my art practice, I have worked as a film professional for over twenty years, specializing in color grading for film. In this role, I collaborate with filmmakers to translate their creative vision into expressive color and atmosphere. You can find more about my color work here: https://www.signaltocolor.com
