BIO Growing up in the bright sunshine of Africa was where my love of nature, wildlife and patterns first began. This led to my career in Printing, Advertising and Design which for a time, took me to the U.K. After meeting my New Zealand husband, we moved back to his home country where we now reside with our two daughters and our cat.

New Zealand is a visually stunning place and I am lucky to be able to experience this landscape.

From the beautiful abundant forests, full of ferns and exotic plants to the treasure filled beaches of shells and seaweed, there is no shortage of inspiration.

My intention is to hopefully share this joy of art in the form of surface pattern design.

I am always pushing myself to learn new techniques so that I can muliti-layer this into my work.

I love painting and experimenting in my sketchbooks especially with different textures, working with real art materials. But equally enjoy digitally converting these images into repeat pattern format.

Even though art came to me later in life, I am hugely grateful for this gift of expression.
