Happy New Year!

These been lots of changes in recent years but some good things still stay valid. Towards the end of last year I had the pleasure of working one on one with a few lovely people with creative / art mentoring both online but also in real life ;) Just thought i would share this blog post from a couple of years ago about this service which is still great and I am opening up my calendar a bit more for for 2026.
I also have more information on my art website if you are keen on reading more just PM for the link (no bots). :)

If you are, or a parent of a student who is studying in the areas of Design & Animation or Art it might be useful for you to have some 1 on 1 tutoring or mentoring to complement your studies. In the past, I have taught high school, uni, and NDIS students as well as […]

The holiday season often brings moments of reflection — thinking about family, loved ones, and the memories we hold close, both past and present 🤍

If you’ve been looking through old photos and noticed signs of wear or fading, I offer gentle photo restoration services to help preserve those special memories. This usually includes a high-resolution scan, careful retouching (removing marks, scratches, and colour fading*), plus a new printed photo and a digital file for you to keep or reprint.

A lovely last-minute gift idea I’ve seen recently is a Photo Restoration Voucher. Starting from $60, vouchers can be emailed to you to print and gift in time for Christmas.

*Restoration fees are subject to viewing the photo first, as the level of deterioration varies, but I have had some clients purchase a voucher with the view that we can add to it later if your photos need alot of work that can be assessed at time of booking in.

If you’d like a voucher or a personalised quote to help preserve your memories, feel free to send me a PM 💛

I'm back available for work from the 4th January so please note this wont be available for service until then.

2026 Calendar - I wanted to print my own A4 Wall Calendar that I could add photos to and personalise so I went to find a pre-done template... You would think that would be easy to find but NO I couldn't find one that looked ok and that was A4 (otherwise when you go to print it prints weird as per the majority of ones on Canva), or one that had photos or one that had a little notes section.

Soo.. I made one. Not with Ai, the old fashioned way and put it in as a Canva template. Took me a while so will be available as a link on my shop but only $6.95. If you can use Canva you can add your own photos and dates easily enough :) Or i can amend for you if you are keen for a service fee and organise the printing yourself.

I will be getting mine printed at Officeworks with a wire bind at the top and a calendar hook :)

I will have some with my art on them if anyone is keen :)

Link is coming but PM if you want me to send direct.

Yep still here :) Ive been working lately on photo editing, restoring old and damaged photos to restore for future memories for clients.
It warms my heart when people can see old memories restored that they can keep for many future generations. Many other art related things happening in the background and printing ofcourse getting files organised for customers so they can do their printing for things like giftvouchers for the season that is about to arrive all too soon.

So whilst this looks quiet i am still jumping around wearing the hats. Best way to grab me is email :) or via the contact form on my website.

Back to it! After a beautiful Open Studio weekend connecting with so many likeminded people, this week kicked off with a fun mix of projects—breathing new life into old photographs and helping clients spruce up their websites.

Happy Monday :)

I’m excited to share that my design services are officially back! Whether you need help with branding, visuals, website updates, or custom illustrations, I’m here and ready to support your creative projects with care, intention, and a fresh perspective.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Looking forward to exciting new projects and welcoming new clients :) if you know anyone that may like some services please share and keep me in mind.

Not to toot my own horn too much😆 but someone has to 😆😆 ... I have a bit of a unique skillset bringing both the artistic and the technical skills together, so hit me up and I can typically come up with a easy and creative solution that encompasses both!

Yes, everyone’s a Canva pro these days! 🤗
It’s quick, easy, and perfect for lots of things—I totally get the appeal.

But here’s the thing:
If you want your visuals to actually stand out and reflect your unique message, voice, and vibe… that still takes thoughtful design. That’s where I come in.

I can help you craft custom branding elements, templates, or visual guidelines that speak your language—so when you do jump into Canva, you’re not just blending into the scroll.

Send me a message if you’re ready to be seen and heard—your way.
