Another year has come and gone, quickly as ever. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season, and that you’re looking forward to 2020 as much as I am!

One of my most popular pieces so far has been my Stripe Mountains design, which began as a coloured fineliner drawing in one of my sketchbooks.

Daily pattern painting challenge (part 3)
Just a little flashback to last year, when I was taking part in a daily pattern painting challenge on Creativebug. I've previously posted about the work I created during the first two weeks, which consisted of traditional and botanical themed patterns. The third week was shape-based patterns, and I wanted to share some of the patterns that I painted here on my blog.

Native wildflowers in the Grampians
A few months ago I enjoyed a beautiful short holiday in the Grampians National Park, in western Victoria with my partner Tim. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather during our visit, which meant we could do lots of walks in the area.

Happy New Year 2019
Oh my goodness, where did 2018 even go? I can't believe how fast the time has flown, here we are in 2019 already! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season. I really enjoyed the lead up to Christmas - shopping for gifts in the city, decorating the house, and opening advent calendars :) And the day itself was lovely and stress-free.

Daily pattern painting challenge
I'm a bit of a sucker for a creative challenge, but of course there's never be enough time to take part in every one that comes along. For the last couple of years, though, I've really enjoyed doing Lisa Congdon's January creative challenges on Creativebug - so I was looking forward to this year's edition. In 2016 it was a daily drawing challenge, in 2017 it was a creative boot camp, and in 2018 it was a pattern painting challenge. Yay, right up my alley!

Happy Christmas 2017
Where on earth did 2017 disappear to?? It's Christmas already, I can't believe it!
It's been a bit quiet here for the last couple of months while I've been busy dealing with other areas of my life, but I'm super excited for 2018, and looking forward to creating and sharing more work with you.

Creating index card art
For the last few years, I've participated in an annual creativity challenge called Index-Card-a-Day, or ICAD for short. The challenge takes places over June and July each year, and has a great community spirit to it.
The idea is to create every day in a way that is super accessible and not too precious. I love that the lines on the index cards show through the work to remind me that it's a simple exercise in getting creative, not an attempt to create a lasting work of art :)
