For most of my adult life, I have been involved in the arts and books. Even when I spent two years riding my pushbike around Australia I stopped to work in bookshops and sketch in remote places. But it wasn’t until I wound up my own bookshop after 12 years that I decided to take the plunge and throw myself into my artwork and writing. While I primarily work with traditional media nowadays, my ongoing experience as a graphic designer, illustrator and all-round freelancer in London and Melbourne has equipped me with useful digital skills. Multiple workshops, and writing bootcamps at CYA and Kidlit Vic has bolstered my storytelling writing and illustration and I continue to learn from my writing and illustration mentors everyday.
Currently, I am working on a 32 page picture book with Amicus Ink and also seeking collaborations with other publishers, and fellow writers, artists and designers on diverse projects, in addition to pursuing my other books.
I pursued fine arts more when I was younger but when I started the bookshop I put that on hold. Now I am free again and I have a chest full of ideas to chase. Watch this space!
