Very much enjoying this sweet new direction I'm travelling lately! (pun intended) I started doing food renders kinda by accident as exploration but maybe it will become something more. I mean, wouldn't it be so cool to have my delicious art on candy packaging, in a catalog, a memu, or even on a poster at the bus stop?! 🤓

I thought I’d share something close to my heart. I created a live art event called The Studio Session, and I’m thrilled to say that thanks to a grant from the Town of Vic Park, it’s going ahead on 4 April! When I found out my application was successful, I also felt a wave of fear and self-doubt. Why am I creating a live art event when I barely make my own art right now? What does that even mean? With two boys under three, it was easy to feel like there wasn’t time, but I decided that even 5 minutes a day of putting colour on something - paper, cardboard, or iPad - was enough. I needed to show up for my own creative practice. What I realised through this process is that my art isn’t just about who I was before motherhood. It’s about who I am becoming as a mum, and the shifts, the struggles, and the quiet moments of reflection that rarely get spoken about. One day, I took a brief reset at the beach while my babies were at their grandparents. I snapped a photo of myself in stillness - and in that moment, the sun reflected off my phone and hit my throat, lighting up my throat chakra. It felt like a symbol of speaking my truth, of expressing what’s been held inside. That image became the inspiration for my first painting of the year. I’ve now completed it as an A5 practice painting, and it’s just the beginning of capturing moments of shifts in consciousness and awareness. The video is a little snippet of my creation journey. I’m also excited to share that I’ll be entering this piece into the Incognito Art Show, and I hope it connects with others who are navigating transformation, motherhood, and the everyday miracle of presence. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and if you’re nearby, maybe you can join me for The Studio Session in April (either as an artist or a collector) - hoping to make a space to create, reflect, and connect.

Hey team, huge win on my side, with my book coming to life, already printed out a dummy and fine tuning a couple of details. Stay tuned, getting in touch with a couple of printing companies to get the real deal!

It can be an internal win, like overcoming fear of being seen and posting on socials or an external win like sending out DMs that you've been procrastinating for the last 3 weeks 🫠 Post your wins in the comments below!

Just had another super productive session on the zoom body double call. Loving being able to start the week getting through my to do list, sending invoices etc. Definitely worth committing to for anyone struggling with procrastination, focus and routine etc. Hot tip - add it to your calendar so you dont miss it. Thank you @Jason Batchelor for these zoom calls!
