I was born and grew up in Melbourne. I found school difficult in the beginning. It was very confusing and a bit boring. We didn’t have an art teacher and I was always in trouble for drawing on my school books.
I became an art teacher when I left school because I loved drawing and kids. Later I left to become a talent agent in the film and advertising industry and then later again I began illustrating & writing children’s books.
I am passionate about creating books for babies and preschoolers. I believe the early experiences children have of reading and books play an enormous part in them developing a love of reading. Reading is a powerful gift that can change and shape your life.
The classroom teachers said her manner with the preps was great. It was terrific that she showed them how to draw a couple of things. It is always lovely to come away with some creations.
