§ 02 — Meet the artist

One-of-a-kind Art, each made slowly

I create each artwork by hand in my cozy Melbourne studio, layering copper-plated Australian botanicals with glass to capture movement, texture, and light. The process is intentionally slow, shaped by attention to detail and the natural individuality of every material. No two pieces can ever be the same.

§ 04 — The concept

At the heart of my work lies the intricate bond between nature and human existence.

My process starts with quiet walks and collected pieces of nature — a fallen leaf, a wild texture, a reflection in glass. In the studio, these elements are layered with copper plating and flowing ink, creating works that feel both organic and luminous.
