Featured in How magazine

One rather exciting thing that happened recently was that I was one of six featured lettering artists in How magazine‘s 25th anniversary issue. See, there I am! The write up was really lovely too and made me feel all busy and important. If you’d like to read the page I was profiled on, take a…

This Little Piggy went to an exhibition

The lovely Rebecca Murphy has organised This Little Piggy, an exhibition of 25 artists and 25 little piggy banks, and it’s opening on February 12th at China Heights. Indeed, I shall be one of those 25 artists and have vandalised a little piggy in the most loving way. Let me tell you about this particular…

Paper and paisley

I love fiddly things that take hours to finish – it’s almost like a type of meditation for me (the girl who can’t shut her brain up to do actual factual meditation!) Recently I started playing with tiny bits of cut paper because I loved the patterns they formed as well as the meditative aspect.…

Earlier this year I submitted work for the first time and was pretty dejected when it wasn’t accepted… I guess I am pretty bad at dealing with rejection :P So I…

Red ribbons

My friend Kathleen wrote a tweet about forgetting things and tying red string around her fingers, and it inspired this image. There are so many things you have to do to remain a lady, sometimes you can tie yourself up in remembering it all. This piece is for sale, if you’re interested in buying it…

Once Upon an Art Show in Sydney

Once Upon launched last Thursday night, and by all reports it was a fantastic night in Sydney. I wish I had the cash for plane tickets down for the last week, because Happenstance were launching their second issue (which I’m in!) as well! One of my pieces sold, but the other three are still for…
