I couldn't stop noticing how my kids loved colour and learning and we quickly got tired of our pastel water coloured wall decals. I wanted to create something that was truly unique along with challenging and sparking curiosity with my kids.
Creating beautiful spaces to love and nurture your little ones with wall decal prints. Explore more.
From growing up in South Africa, New Zealand and now Sydney Australia I have seen a lot of the world and realise just how beautiful the land down under is.
I have painted and drawn my whole life and I never thought I would do anything with art even after getting a score within 2% of the country for art design and winning an art scholarship in high school.
The artists that I find the most inspiring are Gretchen Albrecht, Karl Maughn and David Hockney.
One of the key things that has stuck with me with my work experience is to always be looking wherever you go. You can see the most beautiful things when you take the time to stop and look - if it’s at a store, the park or on holiday.
I love how Operah put it “A home is a precious gift you give to yourself. And it gives back daily. What can be more important than the space where you live and breathe and thrive, surrounded by memories and treasures that fill you up?
For my money, there's no better investment than in the place where you physically and emotionally reside. I know for sure Dorothy [in The Wizard of Oz] had it right: "There is no place like home."“
I hope you find inspiration in some of the designs that I have created to fill your home with peace, love and happiness.

My original artwork process
Each piece that is created goes through a design process of ideation, free sketching, free mixed media experimentation, final form sketching and then is digitised on my iPad, much like how David Hockney has been painting in recent years, digitally painted in procreate and then converted into patterns using Adobe illustrator.
