On a beautiful day, the clouds were dark and light grey. A young lady was standing outside the Opera House, gazing out towards the water as a cool breeze blew through her long brunette hair.
She turned to look at me with a gentle smile in her expression. In that moment, she had forgotten about her daily activities, her schooling, and her schedules.
She was free to simply be her true self, in her own place of happiness. Her eyes told me that she loved to run across the clean sands and into the ocean waters every weekend.
How wonderful it is to see a child so free.
In the 1980s, we had home telephones. No mobiles, no laptops, no tablets. All we had was paper and a phone call after school, usually to my best friend.
I would write in my journal. I wrote letters to my sister, who wasn’t home for many years, and I would wait for her letters to arrive in the mailbox. Every month, I’d ask my mother, “Did we get a letter today?” Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Then I’d return to my journal, writing and crying tears onto the page, until finally, my letter arrived.
This artwork explores themes of trauma, assault, and recovery.
This artwork is inspired by a tragedy that took place on 7 October 2016. It tells the story of a woman who had a home, a family, and a job. She found what she thought was true love, but during her engagement she discovered he had been unfaithful.
Overcome with anger and confusion, she ran. Lost, hurt, and unsure of what to do, she sought what she believed was a place of safety while in a state of intoxication. She was wrong more than ever. She was sexually attacked until dawn.
She battled with suicidal thoughts but ultimately chose to fight back. Through time and healing, she reclaimed her strength and refused to let her past define her, deciding the victim life would not lead her.
One morning, sitting at a train station, she looked up to see a crowd of crows above her. She becomes very fond in them and began to believe they were carrying a message just for her. Now, every day, she looks right, left, and forward, a reminder to keep moving on with strength and purpose.
Wilhelmina is a complex and resourceful woman who embodies the Victorian ideals of purity and faith in 1897. She became a popular character intertwined with the historical legends of Vlad the Impaler.
She would write in her journal, which I refer to as "The Art of Letters", sharing her thoughts with her former fiancé Jonathan, her worries with her best friend Lucy, and her deep, profound desires for Count Dracula.
When her heart felt lost, she would tear the pages one by one and cast them into the wilderness seas on stormy nights. Still, she held onto her notes to Dracula and imagined the words she would speak to him.
This romantic character fights the battles of love, crossing oceans of time in search of it. She reveals her nature through faith and purity, but she loves completely and without restraint. Though the men may hunt the beast, she refuses to sacrifice the one she loves.
From the terror and through the romance, this artwork is inspired by the 1992 film Dracula, based on Bram Stoker’s legendary tale of the vampire Vlad the Impaler.
Dracula travels across centuries in search of his true love, Mina. But in order to cross time, he becomes the beast, the unforsaken. He lives as a vampire, taking blood to quench his thirst.
When he finally finds Madam Mina, his charm and gentlemanly nature make her feel it is destiny. She walks beside him in the garden and dreams of life together once more, with a head count at their castle in Romania, where they can live as the beloved couple they once were.
I dedicate this painting to my daughter, Meena, whose name inspired this work and reflects the love and unity of family. May we always find one another through time and time again, and play in our secret garden, my Madam Meena.
This story tells the tale of one of the biggest mysteries that some say remains unsolved.
In 1918, the Imperial Russian family was executed in Yekaterinburg by the Bolsheviks. However, in 1922, a woman claimed to be the Grand Duchess who survived the execution, that she had escaped the terror. Her name was Anna Anderson. Unfortunately, her claims were later proven untrue when the real Anastasia’s remains were recovered in 2007.
For me, this story was part of my childhood. There have been books written about it, and it has been a major subject in the film industry.
My twin sister and I share a bond through our study of criminology. In 2019, I became aware of the true facts concerning Anastasia. I immediately began my research and created a collection of paintings for ‘The Romanovs’ exhibition here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
