# About me
Hello, and thanks for taking the trip to my page. I’m an Australia-based Art Director at indie gave dev Snowed in Studios with a Bachelors Degree in Design (BDes) and a major in Illustration from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Canada.My inspiration comes from almost anything. Lately, the subjects I’ve been especially interested in are traditional religious icon art, travel, tattoos and tattoo culture, and, of course, comic books and video games.
I consider myself to be both a commercial illustrator specializing in fashion, editorial, concept art and children’s illustration, as well as a fine artist exploring new and exciting applications for 2-D media.
My favourite thing to work with is a pencil, paper and pen, and most of my work has elements of these mediums, or has at least started that way. One day, I hope to learn the wonderful art of tattooing, but until then, I’ll continue to draw designs for other tattoo artists to apply.
In my spare time, I love to cook and bake, and absolutely adore discovering and trying new wines and beers. My husband and I love to travel, and are working our way through a list of 100 countries to visit before we die. The current count? Canada, USA, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Iceland, Holland, England, Belgium, Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey, France, Italy, Jamaica, Cuba, and Australia. 84 left to go…

Wow! Love your work! I love your use of colours, amongst other things!

Thanks so much. Colour is something I'm continually experimenting with, because most of the time i feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with it....

Well, you have certainly fooled me! Colour scares me... I am starting to look into it and even booked onto a course, but if I get to your skill, I would be a very happy girl!

There are basic rules of Colour, like Contrast in Tone and Value, as well as Contrast in Warm vs Cool to create a focal point and lead the eye through an image. But after that, it's really just trial and error. I haven't quite reached the point of having a system down. Every time I do a new piece, my process is different and experimental. Not the most efficient....

There seems to be more science behind it than I would like! I am slowly starting to use colour and my method is purely trial and error at the moment! I suppose 'efficient' is not the word I would use for an art process, so it's all good! I sometimes wish I had the digital tools where experimentation is easier as you can always 'undo', but at the same time, it seems a little cold to me, if that makes sense...

Hey, Dont know if your still drawing stuff up for people, but I need a little help getting my tattoo idea onto paper. Half Sleeve from shoulder to elbow. Black and Grey with pops of color. I want to get something signifing the struggle christians have between what the world and heaven. At the top of my shoulder I wanted clouds with sun rays shining through. The tattoo will be in blk and grey, but the sun rays and everywhere the sun rays touch will be in color. If you could draw me up something, that would be bad ass!
