Biography:
I was born in Cairns and grew up on Erub (Darnley Island). I am one of six children and I have an identical twin. All my siblings were good at art at school.
I came to work at the art centre in a media support role but I quickly started making ghost net jewellery and now work with the others. I enjoy making all kinds of different things from the ghost net. The colours, once you unravel the net make my works bright and happy. I love how I can turn something so harmful to our reefs into a beautiful art piece.
