I’m a botanical artist working in both traditional and digital watercolour. I love the unique qualities of each medium and enjoy blending classical techniques with a fresh, modern approach to bring nature’s beauty to life through vibrant, detailed artwork. My inspiration comes from the wonder of Creation itself. Time spent in nature is a tonic for my soul, and through my art I hope to capture that
beauty in a way that inspires joy in others. I’m blessed to live on a rural property in Victoria, Australia, surrounded by flowers, trees, sheep, and chickens—cared for with love by my best friend and husband, alongside our amazing children. I cherish simple things: family time, being outdoors, and meaningful, hands-on work. With a deep respect for the great naturalists of the past, whose work I can happily study for hours, my art is created with the intention of inviting both delight in the world around us and a moment of rest from it. Above all, I acknowledge the Original Artist who created it all. I came to art later in life while homeschooling my children, teaching them nature observation and sketching. Together, we collected little treasures and recorded them in our nature journals. What began as a desire to paint flowers for my own home grew into a deeper love for watercolour and the tradition and discipline of botanical illustration. I am mostly self-taught and continually learning. In 2024, I discovered Procreate and began applying the same principles and techniques to digital watercolour. This medium has allowed me to stretch creatively and push my artistic boundaries in ways I truly enjoy. My work is intended to inspire joy. Almost every piece is painted from my own photographs, taken during real encounters with birds, butterflies, flowers, and landscapes. Each artwork carries a memory, a moment of noticing what is often overlooked. Capturing these details is my way of practicing gratitude and sharing the quiet joy found in nature’s small wonders.
