Expertise Summary:
My expertise summary is best demonstrated by my publications and NTROs. Scanning these or reading these in more depth you will see I am a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary researcher and educator with a focus on visual art practice, visual art education and arts-health and wellbeing. The PhD and Masters students who I supervise, represent a mixed field of practice based research: artistic practice, indigenous art, inclusive education focusing on the arts, creative arts therapy, teaching and learning science with art and technology approaches, textiles in schools, textiles, painting, mixed media, drawing, sculpture in artistic practice, teaching and learning, creative process, creativity, artworlds, place, space and identity, autoethnography, self-study, narrative inquiry, arts based inquiry practice led research and arts-led research. One of my passions is working one-on-one with students to help them develop the best research projects possible in these complex areas and I am always welcoming new HDR students to my supervision team.

Ocean and Society; International Journal for Art and Design Education; International Journal for Educatin in the Arts; Social Sciences and Humanities; Journal of Global Education and Research; Journal of Happiness Studies, Craft, and Qualitative Research Journal.
