Pt Lonsdale Mural pt 2

This mural is all wrapped up now- I've just realised I forgot share more process pictures on FB after my first post, but here are some final shots anyway. What a joy it is to look back on this project- so stoked with how it all turned out and am feeling very blessed to call this work!

Only 3 weeks until 'How to Catch a Tiger' is released in Australia! Read on for a preview of the first spread...

"Last night, Matilda saw a strange creature creeping in her garden. It had fearsome stripes and a long tail!

Matilda pulled her blankets up over her head in fright and listened as the thing BUMPED! and THUMPED! and HISSED! around the garden."

Pt Lonsdale Mural pt 1

This week I've been down at Pt Lonsdale working on 2 murals at a holiday house. The first mural has a coastal theme, and the second has a blues/musical theme. It's been a very big project, but lots of fun so far! I've sure been thankful for some extra hands along the way. More photos and videos of this project to come!

I'm very excited to announce that my first children's picture book, 'How To Catch a Tiger' is being published by Starfish Bay Publishing and will be released in Australia on November 6th! It will then be released in the UK and US on the 5th April 2024. Ahhh! Thankyou everyone for all your support- can't wait for it to be in your hands!

Overview:
'Matilda is an inquisitive girl with a vivid imagination. Convinced that a ferocious tiger has been lurking in her backyard at night, brave Matilda leaps into action to save her family from the beast.

Matilda gets to work conducting research and creating a clever tiger-trap, before preparing for the suspense-filled wait.

This hilarious tale of misunderstanding is an affectionate celebration of resourcefulness, inventiveness and the power of imagination. Children will be enthralled by the story - could there really be a tiger in Matilda's backyard? - and will laugh out loud at the surprise conclusion.'
