Amongst my work, you’ll find detailed ballpoint and mixed media portraits, custom illustrations for brands and individuals, a growing library of artwork available for licensing, and a teaching and coaching practice that supports students and creatives of all ages.
I’m the creator behind Love From Down Under, an Australian gift and souvenir brand inspired by the animals and landscapes of the outback. Each design starts with research, observation, and a genuine love for our local wildlife. My products are now stocked across Central West Queensland, and I’m always excited to welcome new stockists who value thoughtful, Australian-made design.
As part of my art practice, I create bespoke commissioned portraits and illustrations for clients looking for something unique, personal, and professionally crafted. I also license my illustrated collections to businesses seeking standout artwork without the hassle of briefs or revisions.
Whether you’re here to commission an artwork, explore licensing opportunities, sign up for creative coaching, or stock Love From Down Under in your store, I’m glad you’re here.
