I am a traditional artist born and based in Australia, working mainly in egg tempera with natural pigments, exploring manuscripts, floor designs, and icon studies from the Tradition of the Orthodox Church. These techniques I gleaned from the MA of Traditional Arts at the Prince's (now King's) School in London.

​

Stylistically, I draw on the otherworldly beauty of the liturgical arts of Roman Late Antiquity and what is commonly called "Byzantium." Basically, I try to do traditional arts here and now; (hopefully) aligning with that same ethos to speak the same truth in today's language. 

​

What I ultimately care about is real-world application. The crafts and arts as experiential rather than speculative, and resonating on the intuitive rather than just the cognitive level. I am interested applying the traditional arts in Australia, literally from the ground up; making things from local timber and stone, and colouring things with pigments from local rocks and native plants. 

​

To this end, I am looking to consolidate my existing skills and to keep learning new ones.
