  • May 1998 - Present

  I have worked as an assistant photographer for both Sena Zimmer and Florence Helmburger in Weddings and portraiture. After motherhood took my attention homeward I focussed on documenting the details of my life and my various adventures around raising my family. As my passion grew to the salvaging and repurposing, I began to create art and image transfers onto reclaimed surfaces. In 2012 my art and writing were published in Somerset Studio and over the past three years, I've been published in Somerset Studio, Somerset Apprentice, Somerset Holidays and Celebrations, Somerset Home, and soon to be the upcoming Mingle Magazine and Green Craft in the fall of 2015. For the next few years after that, I focussed mainly on photo styling and decorating homes for Cottages & Bungalows magazine through to 2019. Recently I've decided to create my own greeting cards using the thousands of images I have accumulated for the past 30+ years. When I am not in my studio creating art, I am growing my ever-expanding line of cards online in my Etsy store. I like to say I am a Jill of All Trades No Jack About it.

  Having done over 1000 image transfers on salvaged wood. I salvage, repurpose and cut to size my own wood on a table saw. I not only teach my image transfer process but inspire and encourage the use of salvaged materials. Having done over 1000 image transfers on salvaged wood.
