I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Newcastle, Australia. But it was several years later that I discovered art licensing which opened so many opportunities for my work to be used in a commercial setting.

I live in the city now with my husband and two children, but I still love baking our own fresh sourdough bread and tending to the little flower patch on the balcony. I want my illustrations to convey a sense of coziness and minimalistic lifestyles that evoke feelings of tranquility.
