I'm the kind of artist that... Is raising two boys while figuring out how to build a creative life alongside them. Doesn't believe in niching down because honestly... life's too short to pick just one thing and how boring would that be! Makes my tees made-to-order because I'd rather create pieces people truly love than add to the pile of stuff the world doesn't need Shares a free art print in every monthly newsletter because I believe art belongs in every home. If you're not signed up... what are you doingggg Creates custom patterns for brands to put on to their products, so that they have a pattern that tells a story & is one of a kind Isn't afraid to experiment and make bad art because that's where the good stuff happens Still hasn't sold an original painting but isn't going to give up that easy! (I'm literally too stubborn to give up on my dreams) Believes creativity isn't a VIP club for "artists" only. It's in the way you dress, decorate your home, share your ideas and the way you think So if you're reading this you are probably creative ✌️

I’m not here to fit into a box, niche down or make myself small. I’ve realised life is too short to follow rules. I’m here to create a life full of colour, stories and self- expression. And also a life where motherhood and creativity can exist together. 💖 I believe creativity belongs to everyone. It’s in the way we dress, the homes we create, the stories we tell, the things we make and the way we choose to show up. So this is me… painting, creating, dreaming, experimenting and building a life that feels like ME ✨🧚 #artist #australianartist #creativelife #abouttheartist #arttips
