Hobbies & Pursuits

I like all music, apart from death metal. I play piano and keyboards and learnt to play by ear. I'm a great listener!


I love art and have a deep and profound respect for creativity and good design. Most mind blowing experience so far is visiting Naoshima on a trip to Japan that was focused on art and design. My favourite artist at the moment is James Turrell.


I like to garden and live in the inner west where you get a choice between a car spot and a patch of concrete that we call our terrace. I get my fix at White Creek Valley community garden.


Random stuff I've done: I was an Australian ballroom dancer competing internationally back when it wasn't cool. I was recruited into a girl band for 5 years whilst living in the UK.
