I am a graduate of the MA of Traditional Arts from the Prince's School in London, and am currently based in Melbourne, Australia, where I am partly from.

 

While I always loved art, I never really had the insight or the opportunity to pursue it before coming to the School.  

​

My work is mainly egg tempera painting of manuscripts, floor designs and icon studies from the tradition of the Orthodox Church. Stylistically, I draw on the otherworldly beauty of the liturgical arts of Roman Late Antiquity/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.
