About me
My home, which I share with my husband, is in the village of Bundanoon, where we enjoy cold, frosty winters and fresh, warm summers. Around us, native animals and birds abound, from kangaroos, wombats and echidnas to kookaburras, cockatoos and king parrots. Autumn is my favourite time and through my study window I watch as leaves turn vivid red, yellow, purple and orange – a perfect recipe for creativity.
