Art has always been my language for expressing what words can't quite capture. I work across various mediums—illustration, printmaking, textiles, and experimental mixed media—often incorporating found materials and sustainable practices into my pieces. My artistic practice is deeply connected to my disability experience, exploring themes of chronic illness, community care, and joyful nostalgia

I only create art that sparks joy and aligns with my values—no commissions here. This approach keeps my creative practice authentic and sustainable, allowing me to produce work that genuinely reflects my experiences and passions.

Through my "Chronically Crafty" workshops, I create safe spaces where disabled people can gather, create, and connect without judgment. These sessions have grown from small informal meetups to partnerships with institutions like John Curtin Gallery, proving that grassroots creativity can transform how cultural spaces operate. My art is available for purchase here, and each piece represents something I was genuinely excited to create.

My research strives to improve the future for disabled artists in Western Australia.

I am a PhD candidate at Curtin University. My project uses co-design to amplify disabled voices. We have developed a list of recommendations to improve the arts sector for disabled artists, using insights from disabled artists themselves.

My academic career has evolved over time, recently moving into arts-based research, where I get to combine my love of creativity with rigorous inquiry into social justice issues. I've published work on disability representation in media, contributed to international handbooks on critical disability studies, and presented research that bridges the gap between theory and lived experience.

As a Research Officer at Curtin University, I've worked on projects ranging from audio description accessibility to attitude change interventions. I believe academic work should serve communities, not just accumulate on library shelves, so I'm always looking for ways to make research accessible and actionable.

List of publications

My advocacy work stems from my lived experience of Disability and chronic illness. I've spent years working within disability arts organisations, learning from other incredible disabled artists and understanding the systemic barriers that limit our participation in creative industries.

Through my consultancy work, I offer disability inclusion consulting to help organisations develop genuinely welcoming environments that go beyond compliance. I also facilitate art workshops for companies and institutions looking to engage with disability arts in meaningful ways. Whether I'm facilitating co-design workshops, serving on steering committees, or providing expert consultation on government frameworks, I approach advocacy with both passion and pragmatism.

I'm always open to new consultancy opportunities in disability inclusion, accessibility policy development, and arts facilitation. My recent work has focused on the intersection of disability and environmental justice, while I'm also passionate about connecting disability advocacy with other social justice movements, particularly LGBTQIA+ rights and feminist activism.

Currently, I'm applying to join advisory boards and governance roles where I can influence policy at a systemic level while maintaining my grassroots connections to the communities most affected by these decisions.
