Where were you born?

Sydney.

What other jobs have you had?

My first job was in aged care, at fourteen and nine months! I called bingo numbers, served meals, gave hand-massages and ran craft activities. I worked in vintage clothes stores, gift and antique shops, I waitressed in Sydney harbour, but started exhibiting my art and writing books at twenty and have been doing so ever since.

What themes are recurring in your work?

I am most inspired by nature. Animals, plants, the colours of organic things. I write, draw and paint about love and connection, tenderness, inspiration and joy.

What have been the highlights of your career?

Publishing each of my six books, and seeing them translated into foreign languages. Raising over one million dollars for women around Australia affected by breast cancer (for BNCA) through stationary and textile ranges at Sussan Corporation. Fulfilling my long-held dream of inspiring others by giving presentations in educational and corporate environments.

Where have your works been published?

Australia, US, UK, Korea, Germany, and Brazil.

What are you passionate about?

People seeing themselves as worthy of their own love and care. Teaching approaches to self-care and self-love, gratitude, and kindness. As an INN health coach I am also passionate about people feeling their best in daily life – energised, comforted, nourished and inspired.

Haven’t I seen you before?

Yes!
