Perth-born and bred, I’m an ocean-obsessed artist living in Western Australia - home to some of the most stunning beaches in the world (yes, I’m biased, but have you seen our coastline?). My art is all about capturing the magic of the ocean, from rolling waves and dreamy beach scenes to abstract seascapes that make you feel like you’re toes-deep in the sand. 

Growing up, my family’s trips to the sleepy seaside town of Lancelin cemented my love for the ocean. That connection spills into my work, where I blend vibrant, happy colors with the natural beauty of the WA coastline. Whether it’s a detailed wave painting or a playful, abstract design, my art is a love letter to the sea.

Fun fact: I was an avid surfer back in the day and even helped start the first all-girls surf club in the late ‘80s - the Gidget Surfriders If you’re ever down south near Margaret River, you can check out a piece of our history in the WA Surf History of Women’s surfing display at Aravina Winery Estate.

why Gasbombgirl?

Well, I’ve always been a fan of a good laugh, and over the years, my name has been twisted into all sorts of hilarious nicknames. “Gasbombgirl” just stuck—it’s fun, quirky, and perfectly matches the carefree, joyful vibe of my art.

How long have you been PAINTING?

Forever, basically. Like most creatives, I’ve been doodling, scribbling, and splashing paint around since I was a kid. I started out drawing comic-style art (big fan of pulp magazines!) but eventually found my true passion in painting the ocean around 2015. Since then, I haven’t looked back.

I’m a big believer in always learning and trying new things. Over the years, I’ve taken heaps of workshops and courses, soaking up inspiration from different teachers and techniques. It keeps my work fresh and helps me stay motivated to grow as an artist.

What inspires me?

The ocean, obviously! As a surfer and lifelong beach lover, I’m endlessly inspired by the colours, textures, and moods of the sea. I’m also a huge fan of pop art, pulp art, and naïve art, which you’ll see reflected in my work—think bright, cartoonish waves, tiny beachgoers, and a whole lot of happy, kitschy vibes.

favourite mediums?

I’m all about acrylics—they’re fast, bold, and perfect for my style. Lately, I’ve been playing with gouache paints, Ecoline Watercolour brush pens, and alcohol markers, too. I love experimenting and seeing where it takes me!

Do you do commissions?

Usually, yes - but I’m currently taking a short break from commissions. If you’re keen to know when they reopen, hop on my mailing list to stay in the loop.
