My studio is situated in the sleepy hills halfway between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast of Australia. Our little farm is set in a hollow—green and lush. Everyone who comes to the farm to shoot likens it to ‘Hobbiton,’ saying it feels like they have stepped into a fairy tale book. We have a beautiful freshwater creek that meanders from around our little acreage. It’s just perfect for creating my pieces and photographing them. There is a lily pad-filled pond down the back, home to wild ducks and their yearly ducklings. We have a darling little family of rescue babies including chickens, geese, guinea fowl, a dog and a cat. The ocean is seven minutes from our little farm, a quiet long stretch of stunning white sands.

I have fond memories of my Nan from when I was young. I was always attached to her side and she took me to art galleries, cultural festivals, theatre shows and many community events. She loved parks and the smell of old books. She always helped those in need and loved creating, cooking and her garden. She took me to the local church to have our flowers read (somewhat like tea leaf reading) and we’d trot all over the town collecting flowers on our way. I spent a lot of time playing in the gardens of all of my Nan’s clients and friends.
