I have loved art. Whether studying it, making it, writing about it, observing it or curating it, art has been a humble yet formidable part of my life. I spent most of my BKC (before kids career) as a magazine editor, stylist and writer. It was a fast paced world populated by über-creatives that taught me a lot about visual curation, patience, business and the joy of free lipstick. However, post-partum, things changed and I set my sights on the locale of the dining table and my laptop. In between dinner prep, washing and soccer games I became a freelance writer for magazines like GRAZIA, ICON and Elle Australia. I wrote a lot about art during this time and it drew me back into a world I had loved since school. Soon, my creative jurisdiction over our home expanded from the dining table to the back room with a desk, an easel from Marketplace and a visit to Art Disneyland (aka Eckersley’s). Add to that a nasty disease that saw me restricted from driving for long periods, painting became not only my passion but my therapy.

Mine is an ever-changing journey, which I hope you enjoy. Pieces I create with heart and a critical eye, with the hope they can bring you as much joy as they have brought me.
