About Conservation
Conservation, for me, is not only a moral imperative—it is an act of deep attention. Australia is home to some of the most fragile, extraordinary species on Earth, and yet it remains one of the least observed. Fewer than 1% of Australians actively birdwatch, and even fewer participate in formal citizen science. Without records, there is silence. Without observation, species vanish uncounted.
To document a bird is to affirm its existence. To witness its presence is to resist its disappearance.
In a time of ecological unraveling, I believe soft witnessing—quiet, sustained, obsessive observation—can be as radical as protest. Each entry, each image, each note becomes part of a larger conversation: one that says, we were here; we saw this; it mattered.

Procedure to Presence
I am a student of systems—legal, medical, ecological—and of the quiet ways in which they fray. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society, and now study Advanced Nursing at the University of Sydney. But degrees are only fragments of what has shaped me.
I was raised on a slow recognition of injustice, and I move now through its aftermath—mending where I can, witnessing where I must. My days divide themselves between fluorescent corridors and the hush of wetlands at dawn, and in the stillness between them, I paint. I record. I remember.
What began as a gesture of recovery—logging birds to mark time through sleeplessness—became a devotion to presence. I write where systems fail. I observe where repair begins. My work is part field note, part ritual: the moment a bird appears, the pause before naming it, the knowing that follows.
I am drawn to the ecology of feeling—how grief finds its mirror in landscape, how species remain singular, how tenderness can live in data. This space is a record of what resists classification: rare vagrants, unclaimed quiet, the delicate labor of noticing.
It is not an archive of conclusions. It is a home for attention.
