1- When did you decide to pursue art/illustration as a career?
I've always been on the artistic side, being an artist has always been a destiny. Once graduated from Royal Melbourne University, I started being one, professionally.
2- What are your goals as an artist?
To communicate beauty from my perspective and to inspire.
3- What's your favourite place to developed your ideas?
At nature itself, I often wander the woods in front of my home; every single grain of soil, each fold of leaf, organic flow of branches, wood grains and its age, has its own distinct detail of beauty to it. There's so much beauty in God's creation.
4- Where in the world is your favourite place to see art?
During my trip to Africa. The culture, the people, their art and the surroundings truly did inspire me.
5- What exhibit, that you have seen within the last year, has most influenced you?
The Wangechi Mutu Exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art NSW.
6- Do you collect anything?
Yes, I do. Vintage books and cameras. I love the stories behind them and how details were paid attention more in the past.
7- If you could choose anyone to see your work, who would he or she be?
John Galliano, his a creative genius! I adore his wearable art garments.
8- What is the greatest compliment anyone has ever paid to you regarding your artwork?
'You are an inspiration.'
9- In which walls would you like to see your work exposed in 10/20 years.
My favourite gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art NSW.

| collection white as snow White as snow manifests the beautiful unity when snow reaches earth. Subtle in colours and fabric texture yet intricate in its details. Delicate fabric such as silk and chiffon will be used in layers for translucency and flowing movements with trimmings of lace, glass beads and fine sequins. The mood of the collection will be the gradual effect of the magic when snow reaches earth. |

| Collection Locusts & Wildhoney. Locusts & Wild honey is a collection for the daring and edgy with a twist of femininity. Strong colours, rich texture and structured cuts yet delicate in its details. The fabric and its trimmings will be a balance of strength and delicacy such as velvet, laser cut chiffon, leather and lace. Just like nature, the mood of the collection is edgy, adventurous and raw. |
