Sanguinely grew up swimming with crocodiles until the age of 13 when she realised the onset of puberty had changed her relationship with semiaquatic reptiles from friend to monthly food. Since then, Sanguinely has led a drier life, completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts, Honours in 2013. Specialising in painting, she found painting life to be less fulfilling than living life so in 2015, Sanguinely returned to the swamp lands armed with an extra 25 kilograms of muscle ready to reacquaint herself with life, smash bang fusion style.
