A huge thank you to for consistently bringing my mosaic work to life with such beautiful framing. Every piece is treated with care, craftsmanship, and an eye for detail that always elevates the finished artwork.

We are incredibly lucky to have such a talented local business right here in the Yass Valley. Supporting local makers and businesses helps keep our creative community thriving.

This rose mosaic has already found its forever home and will be framed in stunning Blackwood—a perfect complement to the colours, texture, and character of the piece. 🌹✨

Today wrapped up the final chapter of a beautiful community connection class I’ve been teaching in Canberra 🌿✨

After a fun session of designing, creating, and piecing together Australian Native Flower mosaics a few weeks ago, this weekend was the installation and grouting sessions in the park beside the creators homes. Buckets of glue and then grout, brought these artworks to life.

There’s something pretty special about watching tiny broken pieces become vibrant public art — little mosaics of connection, creativity, and belonging, blooming in the middle of everyday spaces.

Yesterday I had the absolute joy of stepping into the Year 12 art class at Lake Tuggeranong College to chat all things mosaics, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

It was such an inspiring day being a tiny tessera in their creative journey — watching bold ideas, quirky concepts, and colourful stories slowly piece themselves together. The imagination in that room was next level.

Thank you for having me and letting me be part of the magic for a day ✨

Definitely one of my favorite pieces and happy/sad to see it go ❤️

My French Red Carpet mosaic has found its forever home — and what a journey it’s been ✨

This piece carries a little slice of the South of France, dreamt up during my time at last May while soaking up the magic of an artist residency 🇫🇷 Sun-warmed days, creative sparks, fields of lavender, paddocks filled with red poppies, gorgeous little farm houses and that unmistakable French charm are all woven into every tiny fragment of hand cut glass.

It’s always a little bittersweet letting a special piece go… however it’s lovely to know it’s out in the world, telling its story in a brand new space 💫

We’re OPEN today 10-4pm

Then closed over Easter for a big creative project to commence lift off - stay tuned!

I’m heading off to India for a creative journey. Was trying to get this commission finished before I left. However, life had other plans. Not the sort of thing that can be rushed. In the past anything I have hurried to finish I have ended up not liking. So new me is embracing patience and accepting that things happen when they are meant to ✨

The brief for this was lots of colourful flowers, with her favorite being white daisies 💐

I’ve created some time lately to do some mosaic work for myself. I’m working my way through the Tootsie garden coffee tables to give the garden a bit of a lift. Here’s a sneek peek of what’s coming in this space!

🌹Just like the timeless poem says: "Roses are red, violets are blue, a seat of memories, forever with you."
May this symbol of affection bring comfort and peace to all who visit. 🌹 Let us cherish our loved ones and celebrate their vibrant spirits.

Newest mosaic seat designed and hand built by me installed over the last few days at Norwood Park Crematorium, Mitchell, Canberra. It’s very similar to the last red rose mosaic I did in April which sits at the other end of the garden. They are now a pair ✨
