I'm an artist and illustrator inspired by nature, nostalgia and travel.

​

I have grown up and settled in the Adelaide Hills surrounded by beauty in nature as well as in the cultivated gardens of my family - a long line of avid gardeners! 

​

I have always loved to take note of the details in illustrations - from whimsical details in children's books to the delicate touches on the lace dress of a woman in a 17th century French portrait - and I seek to delight people with the details I include in my work. My faith is another source of inspiration and mental clarity.

​

I am mother to a funny little two year old and wife to my childhood sweetheart.
