Her practice spans photography, moving image, text and material processes, often emerging through relational and process-based approaches. She has exhibited widely, undertaken numerous residencies, and her work is held in public and private collections. She has taught across universities, art schools and community programs, and has worked internationally, including several years in Berlin where she co-directed a contemporary arts project space, curating exhibitions and public programs, supporting artist residencies, and extending her practice into pedagogical forms. She holds a PhD from the University of Sydney on visual poetics of the ineffable and how ambiguity, uncertainty and what remains unsaid shape social, cultural and institutional relations. At NAVA, she coordinates professional learning initiatives across metropolitan, regional and remote NSW, delivering programs that strengthen understanding and application of the Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design, while advancing equitable, accessible and sustainable practice across the sector. She's always happy to connect with artists and arts workers, and welcomes people to reach out while she's in Dubbo for the Art Fair.  __ About NAVA and NAVA’s Code of PracticeThe National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) is a membership organisation that brings together the many voices of the contemporary arts sector to improve fundamental conditions of work and practice.
