About
I’m an illustrator and surface pattern designer specialising in children’s design. Whether a picture book or a pattern design I love to produce sweet and whimsical illustrations! My three daughters my husband and I live in Sydney's Northern Beaches NSW, Australia. We live in a pink house with two pups Peggy Lee and Katie Brown and a cockatiel Peaches. I work from my home studio, drawing digitally and mostly working with watercolours and gouache.
