Visual practitioner and researcher with over 10 years of experience across arts, illustration, research, design, and cultural projects in academic, community, and industry settings. I recently completed a PhD, exploring themes of art, migration, and cultural identity through practice-based research. I am an award-winning and published illustrator with seven published children’s books. I have participated in several exhibitions, including my solo exhibition at SASA Gallery, SALA Festival, and a peer-reviewed exhibition held by UniSA and University of Newcastle. My publications include peer-reviewed journal articles, NTROs, translated books, and conference papers. I have been a recipient of multiple awards including an RTPi Scholarship, and a prestigious Gold Medal in literature.
