Children's book illustration

I recently collaborated with Tasmanian mum, Angela Bertram on this lovely children's book - Where All Amazing Things Start . A positive message of self belief and kindness. It was great fun to work on together with Angela and we are both very happy with the final result. Here is a little more about the book from Angela's website: A beautifully illustrated tale of nurturing yourself, your dreams and kindness, delivering a body positive message that everything enabling you to make your dreams come true, is found within you!

Pink Waratah Painting

Image
Brand new archival art print, available in many sizes from our online shop here  or through the The Store here .

Original Artwork on Paper

Check them out here  under the original work tab. Sigh - I will have to keep creating more!
