It's crazy to think that 2019 has already come to an end. I'm really good at forgetting important things, so I thought I'd take some time to go back and pick out 19 highlights from this year and set some goals for the next century (ok that might be pushing it, maybe just for 2020)! … Continue reading 2019 – In Review
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

Oh what a lovely time of year it is to spend near the ocean. The first few days of Feb were spent with my partner's family at Tugun beach. It was so good to go swimming each day and paint by the sea. IN THE STUDIO While at Tugun I worked on my calendar designs … Continue reading February 🌊
January has been a bigger month than I had anticipated. I've attempted to form a general plan for how this year of freelancing/doing-the-art-thing will be structured, but who knows how much that will change. 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
