My stories explore the different ways humans can find to live and how small banalities interact with macro social and economic structures to create our experience of everyday life.
Basically, I really like imagining how humanity could be different and escaping from this reality into my made-up ones.
I’ve been published in Vantage Art Projects, Gravel, Lip, We Matter Media, the Writers Bloc, Vibewire.net, in Vignette Press’s Mini Shots series and Sex Mook anthology, Filter, the Zahmoo blog, The Edge, and Musings of an Inappropriate Woman.
In 2013, I received a Vermont Studio Center Fellowship to support a four-week residency in Johnson, VT, USA.
From November 2018 to February 2019, I created all content for and published Neuroticarium, a zine exploring everyday psychology. Three of the four issues are themed: Objects, Memory, Love.
From 2002 to 2017, I worked as a board member and in fundraising and partnerships with arts organisations including the Emerging Writers’ Festival, Freeplay, the Small Press Network, The Edge, Pozible, Brisbane International Film Festival, Straight Out Of Brisbane, This Is Not Art, and Vibewire.
I’m from Logan City, Australia, spent 10 years in Brisbane, and have lived in Melbourne since 2011.
