About me

I am a sound artist and acoustic ecologist based in the Granite Belt of South-East Queensland, but currently living and working in Cumbria, UK. My work is focussed on producing curated soundscapes that reflect the rich tapestry of Country. My compositions aim to be immersive experiences that invite listeners to engage deeply with the landscape around them through sound.

As part of the artist collective Hopeful Disruptions, I collaborate with fellow core creatives Debbie Taylor, Tracy Pateman, and Rochelle Summerfield to explore innovative ways of engaging with the world around us through sound. This collective ethos enriches my work, fostering a spirit of experimentation and community involvement. With a focus on biodiversity, sustainability and environmental awareness, my soundscapes aim to raise consciousness about the beauty and fragility of the natural world.

My interest in acoustic ecology allows me to blend artistic response with scientific inquiry, affording a unique perspective on how sound interacts with the environment and the pivotal role humans must play in protecting the biodiversity of our natural environment. I aim to encourage people to pause, listen, and appreciate the intricate sounds that define our landscapes - and then think about what they can do to preserve them.
