The Origin series in made up of some of the most personal and time-intensive works I have ever created.

The depict my journey over the last 10 years - in finding love, starting a family, facing struggle and challenge, and finding peace.

The works will form a central part of the Visceral Exhibition to take place at the ARO Gallery in Sydney in 2017.

"Visceral combines a wide range of works that have been born out of my rediscovered love for creating. The works are based on images that have been calling out to be created for a very long time, in a time of significant personal change in my own life... images that are forefront in the my mind and close to my heart."
