Born 1972, the youngest of four children. Graduated from Macquarie University in 1995 (BA Mass Communications). Have worked, variously, as a photographic instructor, portrait photographer, exhibiting fine-art photographer and farmhand. Cared for my parents over a thirteen year period, and documented the last three years of my Mum's life across two nursing homes. Developed schizoaffective disorder at the age of nineteen, and am currently receiving a pension. I like to compose music - mostly contemporary instrumental pieces - and write poetry. I also garden, but badly.
