ARTISTS STATEMENT
I'm a Melbourne based published poet who one day just woke up and loved myself, flaws and all. I can usually be found with a pile of books and my two beautiful pets, a ferret and a kitten, curled up by the window in my room, disappearing into the pages one paragraph as a time. I love disappearing with a few friends into the hills, specifically the Dandenong Ranges, of Victoria to find niche little stores and treasures hidden along the way such as gardens filled with Rhododendron flowers and lakes out of story books or little stores filled with art of places in Melbourne painted by Australian artists. Give me poetry or give me death, but preferably not the latter.
