My Story

I am an artist, maker, and mother of two, and I’m on a journey to live my best and most beautiful life. 

My greatest joys are imagining and creating, caring for my patch of earth and, of course, everything that’s involved with loving and raising curious and creative little souls.

I am amazed and inspired by the beauty that is all around us - whether it’s in the simplicity or quiet perfection of nature; the passions, stories and interactions of everyday people; or the unexpected interplay of patterns, colours and textures.

My pieces emerge from these little moments of curiosity or joy, and naturally come from a place of honesty and vulnerability.  As artists we dare to express what we sense, feel and believe – what is beautiful, what is unique, what is worth treasuring and celebrating.

If you connect with one of my works, and welcome it into your home, my wish is that it continues to touch your heart and bring you joy every day.

In a previous life I was a community development worker. Being an active member of my community, and helping to create opportunities for others to connect and find their joy, will always be an important part of who I am.

I live in the village of Tingoora, Queensland with my son Cass and my daughter Lillian.

It’s not just about creativity, it’s about the person you’re becoming while you’re creating.
