Artist Statement

​

I create worlds through sonic storytelling. My music is driven by a deep engagement with emotional narrative, colour and gesture, translating lived experience and environment into sound. I perceive the world through an emotional lens and compose works that are highly animated, expressive and emotionally charged.

​

My compositional voice is shaped by an ongoing dialogue with historical forms, which I reimagine through a contemporary perspective. I am drawn to structure as a means of storytelling, using established forms as frameworks for new sonic worlds. Influences on my work include the music of Debussy, Stravinsky and Ravel, as well as the visual art of Monet and Kandinsky, particularly their approaches to colour, movement and atmosphere.

​

Works such as From Valley to Summit, winner of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra Heyward Prize, and Anima for string quartet reflect this aesthetic, combining formal clarity with vivid emotional expression. Across orchestral, chamber and vocal genres, my aim is to create music that invites listeners into immersive, emotionally resonant experiences.
