Top 5 Inspirations:
1. Mama Earth
2. Great Spirit
3. Joy
4. Colour and Light
5. Goddesses
You are an artists of many many mediums, which one gives you the most satisfaction? Which is your favorite to work in?
I love playing in all kinds of mediums... I think a balance of them all keeps me happy and in the flow. Too much of one can make me a bit headsy. I feel like I want to share about spirit and how I see life, and to share it in as many ways as possible.
A perfect day would be one of painting goddesses, taking divine photography, writing out my spirit lessons to share and creating sacred space with women. Full, lush and busting at the seams with joy!

What do you most of your paintings represent? What subject/style are you drawn to when painting?
Most of my artworks represent goddesses, great spirit and the divine in every woman. I love creating artworks that will bring joy and soul~space into homes.
I paint in acrylics, ink, gouache and mixed media… whatever calls me at the time. Sometimes I need to get my hands messy with paint, sometimes I need to create delicate watery vibrant gouache and inks.
Important people in your life and why:(list as many as you like or as little)
My Self... learning, exploring and discovering the treasure and Goddess I am.
My lover and journey man… he sees the highest parts of me and reminds me to head to her when I forget.
My dear dear mama, papa and siblings… they are a part of my skin, blood, breath and heart.
My goddess sisters from life, women's circles and artists circles… they give me the space and place to dream myself bigger and deeper.
I see that you had your very own exhibit, congrats!!!! How do it feel to see your stuff up there and being looked at? What did you take from the whole experience? AND would you do it all again? (probably yes:)
Thank you very much :)
I had my first solo art exhibition at a gorgeous little gallery in the country last year... You can read all about it here: Welcome to my Exhibition!
Would I do it all again?
Funnily enough, I just organised my next one today!
It felt quite amazing to see all my art on the walls. I actually lay down on the floor of the gallery just to soak it all up: I wanted to feel like I was in a sea of my own visions and colour. It felt perfect and vulnerable in so many ways: I felt like it was my skin on canvas on display, and I also felt brave and wide open. It was also incredibly special for me to have so many of people of my heart~family to be there in the one room together, looking at my art and making divine connections.
What is your number one basic belief about life, love? What rule do you like to live by?
I believe that we are all divine, living out our own stories and journeying to where we need to go. All of life is sacred.
