Meet the Speaker
Where were you born?
Paddington, Sydney.
What other jobs have you had?
My first job was in aged care. I was fourteen. I called bingo numbers, served meals, gave hand-massages and ran arts and craft activities. I waitressed, worked in vintage clothes stores, gift and antique shops, but started exhibiting my art and writing my books at twenty and have been doing so ever since.
What themes are recurring in your work?
I am most inspired by human nature and our natural world — animals and plants, light, patterns, and colours. 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 twelve books and seeing them translated into foreign languages. Raising over two million dollars for women around Australia affected by breast cancer in partnership with Sussan Corporation. Fulfilling my long-held dream of inspiring others in educational and corporate environments.
Where have your works been published?
Australia, US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, 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 IIN health coach I am also passionate about people feeling their best in daily life – energised, comforted, relaxed and deeply nourished.
Haven’t I seen you before?
