I am a botanical illustrator and artist working from my studio in the Yarra Valley of South Eastern Australia. My home, garden and beautiful surrounds, present me with endless inspiration, with my work alternating between contemporary botanical illustrations, portraiture and still lifes and always reflecting and celebrating my deep love of nature, its cycles and it’s processes.
