Based in Walyalup / Fremantle, Western Australia, Josephine's paintings and sculptures engage directly with the natural environment. Her work is at times large-scale, particularly with her abstract site responses, which explore the wonder of wild places. At other times her work is small-scale and representational, such as when recording bird life or other, smaller wonders, such as flowers or lichen. These works are typically painted with oil paints as a preferred medium, and on materials such as timber or sometimes copper which can be engraved, moulded and/or painted. Working with precious metals reflects her long career in the jewellery industry and materially reflects the preciousness of the natural world, which is a long-running theme of her practice. Josephine engages in art as an act of reverence for nature’s small wonders; and for the refuge and restoration found in the wild.

Josephine’s work is represented in private collections across Australia, Singapore and Scotland. She is a passionate and active member of the arts community and is a Board member of Regional Arts WA. She is in the final months of completing a degree in Fine Art at Curtin University, Western Australia.
