A nice and unexpected surprise.

Not one, but TWO contracts with a publisher!

No spoilers, but I'm going to have so much fun with these!

Got tired of waiting for this horrible, wholesome sunshine to clear up, so went back to some of last year's finds for inspiration.

Trying something a little different because, if I'm being completely honest, I really hate drawing backgrounds! They're so boring! 😂

Making things because I want to and not because I "should".

I made and sold jewellery at markets for years but never made anything for myself. So today I made a small pair of wooden earrings, painted with gouache and guilded with gold leaf

UPDATE: Starting bids have been made for each piece. Bidding ends tomorrow at 5pm.

Beyond heart broken for my hometown of Pomonal.

It's been 17 years since I lived there but when I'm asked where I'm from, I still instinctively say Pomonal.

When my family lost our home in the 2006 fires, people from the local community, neighbouring towns and strangers from all over came together to help us through.

I will be auctioning off 3 original A3 botanical sketches to help raise funds for the recovery. Graphite on high quality paper. At least 30 hrs work. Feel free to add your bid along with the number of the piece you are bidding on to the main comment section.
Auction will conclude 5:00pm Friday 16th.

You can also donate directly to the GoFundMe here:

Pomonal really is the most wonderful little town on earth. Please help if you can ❤️

Merry Christmas!

I made some festive characters to decorate my work stand and thought I'd share them.

I've made
-A sheet of coloured cut outs
-Some wrapping paper
-And a sheet of colour-in decorations

If you would like a digital copy of one or all three to print off at home, feel free to message me and I'll email through the files. (Personal use only please)

Happy festive creating! ❤️ Kate

I do like to keep the animals in their natural form as much as possible, but sometimes I have to cheat for the sake of my sanity (I now understand why Porky never wore pants)
