I was briefed to capture scenes of Aegean yacht charter, ancient ruins and safari and used watercolour to have the artworks float across the layout.

River Drive Motel is a five-room boutique motel located in the coastal town of Tarwin Lower, just a two-hour drive away from Melbourne.

It’s a relaxed getaway for all - family, romantic or solitary.

I created these artworks for River Drive Motel for use across web and social media. The artworks depict scenes of the motel in soft pastel and pencil to enhance the nostalgic feeling of the motel.

Illustration for new development Parc in Doncaster. In collab with Earl st.

Unrivalled in its location and admired for its vision, Parc is a boutique collection of only 6 residences nestled beside the lush parklands of Wilsons Reserve. Designed to establish a new benchmark of contemporary living in the serene suburb of Doncaster, these sophisticated residences are masterfully curated within natural surrounds. A sanctuary unlike any other, immerse yourself within the beauty of this coveted locale.

The design and print collateral was intended to capture a younger yet independent market with downsizers in mind through the use of vibrant and striking colours and illustrations. Direction was given in terms of lifestyle to capture and harness the project's unrivalled parkside location.

Doncaster is well-regarded for its lush expanses and close-knit community feel and as such, provided us with an exciting opportunity to experiment with earthy colours and illustrations that cater to a family-orientated demographic.

I worked with Prada on the release of the 4th edition of the Prada Journal eyewear collection - Inner Landscape. The collection release tied in with their annual competition which invited entrants to reflect upon the specific theme of the relationship between one's inner world and the world outside – the Inner Landscapes of each.

Minim Wines is a small wines, hand made, lo-tech winery based in Castlemaine Victoria.

I was finalist in the Minim X Veraison Wine Label Fundraiser. All wine sold raised money for Seed Mob and The Law and Advocacy Centre For Women.

My artwork was inspired by the vineyards across Metcalfe, Central Victoria filled with ancient Eucalypts.

I worked with the Gallello Atelier to create an artwork featuring white lilies to be used for an embroidery design. To bring the illustration to life, the Atelier sourced from France one-of-a-kind, Victorian Era hand-blown glass beads to hand-embroider the elongated design of the Chiara pencil skirt.

Gallello Atelier's embroidery artisan, Evgeniya, employed the Luneville technique to embroider the skirt by hand. Due to the antique nature of the beads, the piece required over 100 hours of hand-embroidery creating a unique, special edition garment.

Lunéville embroidery is a French handcrafted technique that has been used since the 19th century on Haute Couture dresses and accessories. It is a work of complexity that requires great patience, precision and meticulousness. The technique is known as 'les mains d'or' or the golden hands, which inspired the name of the ateliers collection Gilded Summer.

Gallello Atelier has a family legacy of couturier craft and artisanal excellence since 1950. All garments are hand-tailored in Venice, Italy.

My calendar for 2024 - inspired by the poem ‘Flowers’ by Wendy Videlock

They are fleeting.

They are fragile.

They require

little water.

They’ll surprise you.

They’ll remind you

that they aren’t

and they are you.

The calendar celebrates the joy of 2 of my great loves - petals and pigments. Capturing transient moments of beauty and reminding us we are all part of the rich tapestry of nature and life.

A flower is a symbol of life, growth, and beauty.

The calendar is A4 in size and opens to hang lengthwise. It features 12 ink and watercolour illustrations that were created using Dodgy Paper. The calendar itself is printed on natural high quality 300gsm 100% recycled post-consumer waste Ecostar uncoated stock. The illustrations fill a whole page so can be pulled out and repurposed as prints.

Following on from the success of Spritz Fever cocktail book came the Spritz cocktail cards.

The cards feature 50 sparkling cocktails featuring my illustrations and include fizzy classics and new twists, with easy-to-follow recipe.

I worked with luxury footwear brand Jimmy Choo to create an illustrated artwork shoe design for their project Choo Sketch. The illustration was used to advertise participation for the #choosketch project on social media.

Creative director Sandra Choi called on artists, designers, and those looking to fill time during lockdown measures to sketch their very own pair with the winner having their shoe created!

“I wanted to share my love of sketching with the Jimmy Choo community in the hope it would provide a moment of escape whilst we were all united in the challenges the Covid-19 pandemic brought,” says Choi. “I was overwhelmed by the number of sketches and stories we received and felt inspired and touched that we had reached so many people around the world. It was difficult to shortlist the number of submissions down to just 10, but each of the finalists had created a design which really resonated with me.”

The initiative, which took place weekly via Instagram, received over ten thousand submissions worldwide.

I worked with Made Visual to create the recipe illustrations for the Australian Volunteers Internationals cook book - Food to Share.

I had the pleasure of illustrating Ten Pathways by Fleur Chambers. In this uplifting and life changing guide, Fleur reveals her ten pathway framework for redefining happiness in a way that will allow you to safely meet your challenges, access their wisdom and embrace all life - including the parts which caught you by surprise.

‘Florescence’ is a celebration of blooming and process of flowering - defined as the process of developing richly and fully. In the creation of the calendar’s mixed media illustrations, I have been inspired by my own garden - its growth and evolution when lockdown can make time feel static. I will always be in awe of flowers - that such beauty can be grown from from the earth beneath us. There is nothing more rewarding than planting a seed and watching a flower bloom - a very real metaphor for hope for the future! When the world can seem turbulent, the beauty of something so simple is incredibly comforting to me.

I worked with Lifestyle Retreats as an artist in residence to create a series of Illustrations based on their Bali resorts. What a dream collaboration!

I worked closely with Smith Street Books to illustration 60 spritz cocktails for their title Spritz Fever! Each illustration was based on a recipe by Melbourne based mixologist - turned culture writer Eloise Anders.

The 60 spritz recipes in hardcover Spritz Fever! celebrate the most popular cocktail style of the decade. Seeing as most spritzes are low(ish) in alcohol content (well, certainly lower than wine anyway), they’re the ideal companion for any day drinking event. Plus, as most Instagram feeds can attest, spritzes aren’t just a drink… They’re a lifestyle. These bubbly wonders speak to careless Italian summers, spent reclining by the beach in fine and flowing linen.

What can be so easy to forget is that spritzes are so much more than just Aperol and bubbles. In this book, you’ll learn about the classic European liqueurs, like Cynar, Campari, Luxardo Bitter, Meletti, and more. Moreover, you’ll discover the textural nuances between prosecco, cava and Champagne. Plus, read up on how citrus garnishes can be matched to each drink’s flavour profile, and, of course, colour. Above all, follow the perfect ratio of liqueur-to-bubbles for each recipe. Spritz Fever! explains all of this, alongside its dreamy illustrations.

“A Walk in the Neighbourhood” has captured both the lingering, and sometimes fleeting, mindful moments noticed whilst strolling the streets and paths of my local neighbourhood. An abundance of citrus fruits overhanging an elderly neighbour’s fence; the light streaming through a tiny peep hole in towering trees; and the bursting colour of spring blossoms will forever remind me of the sacred moments my babies and I shared in their formative years.
