Since reconnecting with my long-lost illustration skills in 2014, I've been busy learning new techniques, and currently work in watercolour, pencil, ink, monoprinting and digital.
In 2014, I began the 52-Week Illustration Challenge as a way to reconnect with drawing and painting. It became an enormous success, with over 7000 members, worldwide. The same year, I won a highly commended nod in the Emerging Illustrator Mentorship with the Australian Society of Authors, and was fortunate to receive a brief mentorship with Sue deGennaro.
I'm constantly learning and growing, and loving this parallel creative journey, alongside my beloved writing.
