About Our Tour At the beginning of this year, my sister, Monique Clare, invited me on a tour to perform live painting alongside herself and Joe D'Esposito. We toured for around 3 weeks down NSW, Victoria and ended in good ol' Queensland. During each show on the tour, I worked on this painting while Joe and … Continue reading Our Tour Painting – Passenger
April has been a wonderful month - arriving back from Japan gave me a burst of energy and inspiration. Also because my March blog focused solely on my travel journal in Japan, I thought I'd include a few other March highlights here too. This blog is a jumbled mess so I apologise in advance for … Continue reading April (and a bit of March) 🌾
Sketching Everyday In March 2019, I travelled through Japan for three weeks with my friend Bridie. I set myself a challenge - to create a small sketch for each day. I thought this would be a fairly unrealistic goal as travel is often busy, energy draining and unpredictable, however I did manage to have something … Continue reading 🌸 Travelling in Japan in March – A Sketch a Day

I also did few weeks of house and dog sitting in a lovely bushy area early this month, which provided the … Continue reading January 2019 ☀️
Let's start the New Years resolutions rolling! Next year I am planning on writing myself little monthly recaps. I've always found journaling to be a vital tool in the creative process (and also it helps my terrible memory). I'm starting off with a practice round for good ol December 2018 to get in bright and … Continue reading December 2018 🌿
As 2018 wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to think about just how incredible this year has been creatively. I tend to be a very unsentimental person, so I think it is good practice to reflect on experiences, otherwise I tend to just potter on without much time for mindfulness. We brought in … Continue reading 2018 in Review
