Available to hire
I am a multi award-winning artist and illustrator, creating paintings and illustrations from the heart to uplift and inspire. My practice begins with a short meditation, opening my heart to the love of the universe and the beauty around me, and I fill my paintings with this positive energy so they uplift any space.
I love children’s book illustration and have over 10 years of publishing experience, guiding ideas through to a published book. I enjoy turning words into magical illustrations and collaborating on projects, including murals and collaborative art, sharing mindful energy through my work.
