Im excited to announce that I am participating in Open Studios Sunshine Coast this year. The weekend for Hinterland studios is 19th-21st May.

After a couple of quieter years, Im excited to announce that my work will be featured in the Stevens Street Gallery from now until the end of December 2022. It’s a lovely gallery space, full of interesting local art and handmade beautiful things to browse. And a perfect destination for some Christmas shopping.

Id love to invite you to go along and see my work…let me know if you’re going! The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday each week.

Exciting news! Your first glimpse of the long-anticipated, “Chandani and the Ghost of the Forest”! Being published by Wombat Books, and due for release in May 2019, it is fantastic to see the cover!

What do you think? I think its going to be amazing to see all the illustrations pull together as a book! Im looking forward to having a copy in my hands.
