This book was somewhat unique, because I worked on it on and off for a decade (and full time for 18 months). But there were two incredibly complex stories in this book, so it took time to research/develop those.

I had the support of so many people around me also telling me they loved my products, so as I was looking for a newer direction in life, I decided to give it a go, get a Food License, buy a van and take my goods to the markets on my days off. I started my first market in October 2015.

Having always loved abstract art, and having experimented with a range of fluid mediums, I found myself drawn to the viscosity of resin; it’s glossy & thick nature. It adds another dimension to 2D paintings, and is so versatile. It is not the easiest medium to work with, but very rewarding! 

Writing fiction was a long-held dream, but one I never thought I was clever enough to achieve. However, in my early 40s, it became a case of ‘now or never’ and I couldn’t ignore the voice in my head any longer.

The Botanist's Daughter by Kayte Nunn. The official blurb is...

"Discovery. Desire. Deception. A wondrously imagined tale of two female botanists, separated by more than a century, in a race to discover a life-saving flower . . . it's a delightful read perfect for our bookclub

I’m continually inspired by nature (florals are a big fave!) and I love scoping out fashion and interior design trends.  I spend a lot of time on Instagram (for both work and fun!) and I don't go anywhere without my camera. Here in Tasmania the Royal Botanic Gardens are a great source of content

This month for our "Women Following their Dreams" series I've interviewed Shannon, the very talented creator of Typoflora, stunningly beautiful stationery designs & products. She really has turned her dreams into her reality.

The latest interview in our Women Following their Dreams series is with the very talented Jessie Miles co-founder and creator of "In the Daylight", gorgeous stationery and giftware. She wanted to do it so she did!
