For the past 18 years, I’ve found peace and purpose nestled in the lush hinterland of Noosa, where nature is abundant and the pace of life allows for reflection, creativity, and healing.

I was born in South Australia and spent my early years in the picturesque landscapes of the Barossa Valley and the coastal town of Whyalla. At the age of 17, driven by a sense of independence and curiosity about the world, I left home and moved to Queensland to begin a new chapter of my life.

My journey then took me abroad, where I spent four and a half deeply formative years in Europe, soaking in its rich cultures, histories, and artistic traditions. Following that, I lived in Manhattan, New York City, for 17 vibrant and transformative years. The energy, diversity, and intensity of the city shaped me in many profound ways.

Throughout my life, I have been drawn to many creative and expressive mediums. I’ve explored painting, writing children’s books, and crafting poetry as ways to communicate the intangible and give voice to the soul.
