I'm a South Australian Artist creating unique, multi patterned Artworks in pen and ink. Portraits are available on a commission basis for special events and Birthdays - all I need is a photograph.

Sumatran Tiger drawing - early beginnings
I’ve never attempted to draw a Tiger before, let alone one as vibrant and as glorious as the Sumatran Tiger! The drawing took a week in the end - layers over layers of penwork to get the right depth of colour. Hope you love her as much as I do
Commissions
Do you have a pet or person you would love a drawing of? I seem to be able to draw anything once I’ve set my mind to it! Here’s the Yorkshire Terrier who ‘appeared’ while I was sitting during a quiet time at the Trade Show.
They make great gifts for that special person - all I need is a clear photograph which you can email to me :)
My space at the Sydney Trade Fair 2019
This year’s Trade Fair was a lot of fun surrounded as I was, by so many interesting people and their products. I love Sydney at the best of times, and was fortunate enough to pick up lots of new buyers from all over Australia. If you’re interested in stocking my Greeting Cards or Prints, please email me - I promise to guarantee that you will be the only stockist in your area :)
My Wonderwalls Mural
Just about complete - still a few areas to add to, but here’s my Wonderwalls Mural, opposite the Lighthouse in Port Adelaide
2.4 metre square Mural of my Artwork to come!
My wall can be found opposite the Port Lighthouse :)
Windows to my World
Prior to my work in colour, I spent many years drawing only in black ink. I love the distorted perspective of MC Escher and felt inspired to play with those ideas here. My obsession with pattern came into play too. I took inspiration from this drawing for my Wonderwalls Port Adelaide Mural which you can see opposite the Lighthouse in the Port now.
Wonderwalls Mural beginnings
My wall for Wonderwalls Port Adelaide is 2.4 metres so here I am drawing at the very beginning with Posca Pens
New beginnings
I started drawing dogs after a request for a commission - it’s not always the easiest of drawings as their personality needs to shine through in their eyes. Love the journey though!
Work in progress for Wonderwalls
Here’s a small section of the wall - I absolutely loved creating this and would love to draw more. If you have a wall, inside or out where you would like a Mural, I can work on it in situ, or at my studio and then install it for you :)
Simon
I asked the wonderful Simon Bryant if I could draw him - here’s one of the three drawings
Hamar Woman from Southern Ethiopia
My first drawing using Prismacolor on canvas. I was lucky enough to be a finalist in the Prospect Portrait Prize with this
Salt Water Woman
I was privileged enough to be invited to draw Rikki for the Art of Reconciliation 2021 - an absolute pleasure
