My Creative Story (aka all about me)

Hi and welcome to my art space in cold, crisp and delightful Launceston, Tasmania. I’m a natural history artist, colouring book creator and creative story writer behind-the-scenes.

Natural history you say?? What on earth?

Just that! My art is inspired by my observations & experiences of the natural world. My aim is modest, simply to share my passion for the intricacies & diversity of Mother Nature. I hope my paintings bring you joy ✨🌞🦋🙏 & activate an interest in the wondrous world of nature all around us 🍂


Top 5 achievements I’m most proud of

  • Named Great Lakes Artist of the Year
  • Awarded a Children’s Literature Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria
  • My colouring book: Wildscapes an Australian art therapy colouring book was a sellout!
  • Awarded Peoples Choice at the Flair Illustration Awards
  • And last, but definitely not least, becoming a mother

Professional background

I studied a Bachelor of Natural History Illustration at the University of Newcastle, graduated with Distinction and continued formal study with a year of Honours …. followed by several more years to attain a Doctor of Philosophy (Natural History Illustration). And then, no surprises, I burned out. I put too much pressure on myself (for better, for worse, I’m a perfectionist).

I took time out, travelled for six months through Europe, and ended up living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. I gained a wealth of life experience, learned a lot about myself, wrote two books, and returned to Australia reinvigorated. I’m bursting with ideas! Now, I just need to find time to bring them to life 👶😅💗💗

My work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and is represented in private collections in Australia. For a full list of my past exhibitions and awards see 👉 here.
