My Story
From storytelling through images, to stories drawn by hand.
Welcome to a world where quiet moments become stories, and stories become art.
I have always been drawn to stories. The quiet moments, the details often overlooked, and the emotions held within everyday experiences.
Before immersing myself in the world of mandalas, I spent many years as an expressive documentary photographer and filmmaker. Through my camera, I explored rhythm, composition and connection, capturing the stories woven into people's lives and the world around me. Looking back, I realise I was never simply taking photographs. I was searching for meaning in the everyday.
Today, I tell those stories differently.
My camera bag has become my creative studio.
Each piece of art I create begins with a pencil, a quiet moment and the simple act of slowing down.
Drawing has become my meditation.
Through intricate hand drawn detail and gentle repetition, I create symbolic artwork inspired by the timeless beauty of mandalas. Each mark is created with intention, allowing the artwork to unfold slowly and naturally.
Every piece carries a story long before it becomes something someone else can hold, wear or live with.
From symbolic keepsakes and original artwork to clothing, wallpaper and surface pattern collections, every creation begins with the same intention: to transform quiet moments into meaningful designs that people can treasure, wear and live with.
My hope is that my artwork becomes more than something you simply see. That it becomes something you feel. Something that quietly finds its place in your story, carrying meaning long after the moment it was created.
"Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. It fashions it's own perfect moments out of ordinary ones."
