My creative journey started when I was 8. It was one rainy Sunday on a family drive through a jarrah forest and, having been inspired by The Man From Snowy River, wrote and illustrated my first poem. From that moment of completion, I was hooked! This was my passion and I have been driven by it ever since.
Art and design has always been an essential part of who I am. I come from a family of artists who valued the written word and appreciated the power they could have to tell stories from musical theatre to picture book classics. We marvelled together at words and beautifully turned phrases, even writing together just for the joy of it. My love for textiles came from my mother who taught me to sew from an early age. My obsession with watercolour paint was inspired by my father.
