 A professional illustrator, surface pattern designer, and Pinterest strategist living in beautiful Wellington, New Zealand. I've licensed my over 100 designs with brands like RJR Fabrics, Studio Oh, Hawthorne Supply Co, and Sand & Fog, and I'm passionate about helping fellow artists do the same.

I've been painting with watercolour since 2017 and I absolutely love it, it's such a fun medium, but it can be tricky to know where to start. My classes cover everything from painting beautiful florals (I have an amazing hack for painting from a photo, trust me, it's easier than it looks!) to turning your on-paper watercolours and paintings into digital PNGs ready to use in surface design.

I also teach artists how to use Pinterest as a powerful tool for art licensing, helping you get your work in front of art directors, manufacturers, and brands who are actively searching for new talent. It's one of the most underused strategies in the surface design world, and I can't wait to show you how it works. You can grab my free guide here.

Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or ready to take your art into the licensing world, you'll find practical, joy-filled resources here to help you move forward.
