From as early as I can remember, I have always had a passion for colour and exploring creative processes such as drawing, painting, designing and making. As a young girl, during school holidays on rainy days, I could be found drawing and painting at the kitchen table with my grandfather. I was inspired to embark on a painting career after I inherited a large box of oil paints from him. I also enjoy the visual puzzle solving of creating illustrations and pattern designs. This led me to embark upon and successfully gain a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in textile design and illustration respectively.

As a practising artist, illustrator and designer, I have been selling my work since 2004 and continue to undertake commissions and exhibit my pieces both nationally and internationally. Prior to this, I worked on a freelance basis creating specialist paint finishes and murals for interior design companies and domestic clients.
