One-on-one with Tohby Riddle

I am so excited to be able to have some time with Tohby Riddle soon as part of the ASA mentorship program. His picture books are fantastic so I can't wait for him to give me some advice with my picture book.

Highly Commended - ASA Mentorship

I have received a highly commended for my picture book 'The Three Lazy Pigs' in the Australian Society of Authors Mentorship program. I'm extra happy as there is only 1 picture book winner and I am the only highly commended so it like coming second!

 I will receive 2 hours of time with a well known published author/illustrator. Great prize!

Sharpie Art

Today I decorated this clock using a Sharpie pen. My inspiration came from my husband's love of motorbikes.

Mother Pig - from cut painted papers

Big Bad Building Inspector

This is a sample of my current illustrating style. The picture is made from cut pieces of painted papers.

How I start

Here are some of the monoprints still drying. These will be cut into little pieces and assembled to make my finished illustrations.
My inspiration was the butterfly paintings my children used to do at playgroup. The lines and textures were so interesting I wanted to used them in collaging papers.
