ACSA offers a range of visual art courses including a number of dedicated teen courses in painting, drawing and sculpture.

Her work reflects an interest in rituals and calendric customs that pertain to the cycle of the seasons and by extension, cycles of growth and decay. Recent exhibitions include Adelaide Biennial: Monster Theatres at The Santos Museum of Economic Botany, The National 2019: New Australian Art at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Versus Rodin: Bodies across space and time at the Art Gallery of South Australia and Long Ballads at Ideas Platform, Artspace.
