little piece of paradise

just spent a beautiful week in new zealand...and heres a peek at our wonderfully simple beach house...love this spot -even pretty when it rains

how my presents looked...

this year i used a combo of brown paper, old linen, and orange twine to wrap my gifts...also found some beautiful vintage cutlery reborn as herb markers to add a gleam- found a lot of beautiful wrapping bits and bobs on www.emeraldandella.com.au  a great find!

christmas tree and summery days

its been 7 years since we enjoyed a sunny christmas...theo seems most perplexed about where the snow is.

recent paintings

sorry about bulk imagery- wanted to get these all on the same page, all paintings in acrylic on canvas

new image

a couple of recent works, first a very long commission for my dear friend adie, I promised her a painting and she gutted and renovated her 4 story london terrace before i finished the artwork..

still raining..

its been unseasonably wet here, and the humidity is building but the days are not too hot yet. I have a mix of things to post, mostly still in love with my new house...and the light and space in it

new home

about time ...here are some simple images of our new home as it is coming into shape,plenty to do

bespoke artwork and interior design

is what I do, after years living overseas, in the US and UK, I have returned to live in sunny Brisbane, and hope to busy myself with creative projects in the residential interior realm. already my first job has been commissioned, a pale pink gold and silver filigree mural for the interior of the revamped Beauty Boudoir in Toowong.

I offer a custom design service, including interior and exterior colour schemes, room plans, furniture and fabric sourcing,  bespoke murals and artwork, and design and manufacture of soft furnishings, including roman blinds, curtains and accessories.

This site will show my inspirations, my work, and art as it is completed.
