Ajanta: Visual Poet | Witness of Quiet Truths

​

I walk between many worlds. I am a poet, writer, tutor, mentor, advocate, visual

artist, end-of-life consultant, and Buddhist chaplain. My work is a weaving of image

and word, of presence and spirit, of intellect and intuition. I live as an eclectic,

multi-disciplinary creative, moving fluidly across disciplines and forms while

holding a single thread of truth. I see art as a practice of truth-telling, a way to

honour impermanence, and a means to notice what others might pass by.

Living on Victoria’s Bass Coast, I return again and again to the voices of land and sea.

The mist, the light, the shifting patterns of trees and textures. People, animals,

landscapes, and the unseen currents of spirit are all part of my palette.

Through photography, writing, and research I seek to express what is tender, raw,

and unguarded; the sacred and the strange, the fleeting and the eternal.

Self-taught in photography and deeply grounded in contemplative practice, my style

is spacious, elemental, and intuitive. I allow each feather, hinge, shimmer of water,

or line of text to arrive in its own time, never rushed.

This is not performance but presence, a meditation shaped through image and word alike.

I share my work through exhibitions, publications, my website, and social media.

Each offering is a still point, a breath held in time. This is how I witness.

This is how I remember. This is how I speak with and without words.

And always, I hold to my mandate: to tell the truth and make it sing, to make it unforgettable, to make it entertaining.
