Thea was born in Kalgoorlie, WA in 1980. 
She holds a BA Fine Arts (with Honours)

Thea is currently completing her PhD at Curtin
University, investigating the grotesque as a
mode for the representation of history in visual
art, literature and film. An artist, writer and
emerging curator, Thea’s interdisciplinary
background reflects her approach to creative
practice. Her visual arts practice encompasses
sculpture, installation, animation, performance
and drawing.
In 2002 Thea wrote and directed
Psychoarchitectural Pleasure Tours, a series of
vignettes that took place throughout four rooms
in Hotel6151. She has recently written a work
for theatre, Heart of Gold, in collaboration with
Tarryn Gill & Pilar Mata Dupont which is
scheduled for production in 2009. Thea’s critical
writing has been published in art journals
including Artlink, Photofile and RealTime + On
Screen.
