Dark Flower Pods was Highly Commended in the 2020 Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize.

Her work explores the fragility and vulnerability of nature, earth and the body. She evokes archetypal symbolic imagery and representations of birth, death and renewal to reveal our unseen spiritual and emotional internal worlds.
