To garner deeper appreciation of the incredible complexity and diversity of our Australian birds, this collection highlights three of the ancient Songbirds of Gondwanaland found in the rainforests of Springbrook National Park, Queensland; Albert's Lyrebird, Satin Bowerbird and the Green Catbird.

Supported by motifs of our unique Australian flora, are the Lemon Myrtle Tea Tree, Rainforest Sedge, Lilly Pilly, and the iconic Eucalypt and flowering gums, found at varying mountain heights.

With an eclectic blend of soft-paletted, stylised motifs and sketchy, hand-drawn illustrations and textures, I wanted to bring a modern and unique twist to historical patterns in this collection, reflecting my love of blending contemporary with traditional styles.

Wallum is a collection inspired by the coastal heathlands of South-east Queensland, which supports unique flora, birds and wildlife. This collection centres around the wet heath, Wallum Banksia, Banksia aemula. The collection is made up of a number of mini-collections, expressing different pattern styles, which is a reflection of the diversity of the Wallum heathlands themselves. 

Lotus is a Japanese-inspired collection, created around the Pink Lotus-Lily and the Brolga, which is an Australian Crane. I wanted the feel of these designs to be soft, warm and subtle, yet have a feeling of simple sophistication, which Japanese art and culture is known for.

Also known as the Pink Waterlily, this lotus is found to be growing natively in Qld, Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Brolga is an iconic Australian wetland bird, and like other cranes has a distinct courting ritual and builds its' nest in wetland vegetation, usually on a small land outcrop floating in shallow marshland.
