So Tweet
Where on earth are the days going? I have been sitting in front of this computer for hours every day and barely scratching the surface of all the things I need to do! Making products, designs, collections, website upgrades, commissioned paintings… My head is a whir of ideas and lists. Oh, and I have to [...]
New Pattern: J’aime
I get such a buzz going from this: and this… to this… I can’t imagine I’d ever tire of the thrill I get when I see it all weave together like a dance of colour! Can you imagine this as a children’s duvet cover?! I can! I am always on the lookout for bright and [...]
Hot off the Press – Fargerik!
If you’re wondering, Fargerik means ‘colourful’ in Norwegian… Ummm, no I’m not Norwegian, I just liked the sound of it! I am finding it increasingly difficult to name my patterns, especially ones which are done with flowers, and flowers which I make up rather than those with their own real botanical names. So I [...]
Bliss. Imbibe. Restore
Welcome to my new weekly post called Bliss. Imbibe. Restore. Each week I’ll be posting links, photos, poems , stories and all manner of things which I find inspiration from. Tonight I was thinking about the things that are important to me in my creative biz and life and I think I’ve managed to roughly [...]

Motif Madness
Practice makes perfect right? Well I’m not quite at perfect just yet, but having heaps of fun none-the-less! During the course of the past three or so years, as I’ve started painting, exhibiting and selling my art, I have been on a quest to unearth my own truly unique style. It’s so very hard because [...]
At the beginning of a new journey…
About two weeks ago I bought Jessica Swift’s newly released e-book titled ‘Jump, Trust, Repeat’, and it was exactly what the doctor had ordered. For those of you who are not familiar with Jessica’s work, she’s a surface pattern designer, graphic artist, illustrator, painter etc And what a perfect name for the book. I was [...]
On Not Making the Cut…
Last post I shared with you a little bit about the painting that was accepted into the Mid West Art Prize Exhibition. Today – I just wanted to show you the one that didn’t make the cut! I really love this one just as much because as i mentioned before, I am just starting out [...]
See ‘Im Dog Tree Miss?
Earlier today a letter arrived, one I have been waiting for anxiously for seven. long. days. Last week I submitted two of my paintings into the Mid West Art Prize, and guess what? One of them was accepted! Woohoo, very big happy dances over here! Although I must say it was a bitter sweet experience [...]
