I am an artist and designer with an illustration and craft based practice. In my work I am interested in telling stories often inspired by nature. Currently I am at UNSW Art & Design studying a Bachelor of Design in Textiles and Object Design. I love sharing craft knowledge with others and teaching both children and adults. I spend a lot of time working at Georges Heights Artist Precinct in an art and craft studio for children.
