“Nothing matters more to me than the earth’s poetry, and how it finds a place in each of us. I like the movement words bring, and I love to move within the rhythms of water, against the wind under wheel and sail, sensually among the sun-bitten grass, and as slowly as a seed ripening and falling and taking root under a hawthorn bush.

My creativity is imbued with the earth—at times, even in-service to the Earth. I like to give shape to earth’s energies through my art, and how those energies land in me/my imagination. I like exploring embodied materiality, in-betweenness, reverence, connection and careful, creative stewardship. I like being touched through my senses, and co-creating with wild sites and their materials.

I like to work, in that I like to feel my potentialities exercised and actualised. I’m a really good facilitator—working with individuals and groups at the intersection of ecology, creativity and healing. I’m a trained wilderness guide, emerging herbalist and an oral storyteller. I dream of co-creating beautiful systems that weave old and new, abundance and diversity, wisdom and humour”
