Gardening - what inspires me to create
My dream is to live in a garden full of surprises and seasonal flowers in abundance. Where the birds move in and out with the season and the frogs croak happily in a pond. I live in a garden that is on the way to being this oasis. It provides me with so much inspiration and joy.
In 2016 I launched into the production of quality homewares with a unique twist. Producing a range of 100%linen tea towels and cushion covers with my botanical work printed on them. There are many Australian natives in this collection and I am proud to say they are printed and made in Melbourne. Over the years this collection has grown to include gift cards, bags and more.
Our property is in Dean, Central Victoria and I regularly open up my studio and garden for all to enjoy. Stay up to date with the opening times and what we are creating by joining the mailing list.
Hand Made In the Studio
From the Garden comes the products and I love growing flowers. This has provided me with the inspiration to create a range of homewares. Taking clay to stoneware to produce unique hand made items for the little flowers and more. See the latest collections here.
