My poor little blog has been neglected of late...so incase your wondering here's whats happening.

I have been lucky enough to be selected in the Hello from Australia exhibition to be held very soon at the Bologna Book Fair.
The lovely people at Books illustrated have it covered here http://booksillustrated.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/coming-up-books-illustrated-at-bologna.html

And here's another link to the catalogue with all the very talented authors and illustrators.

Well we finally made it to 2013 what an amazing 12 months!
Amazingly busy but very rewarding not to mention educational. I was working on a few books last year and I also had the opportunity to have been selected for illustration residency in the Blue mountains at Pinerolo, I was a very lucky girl!

Those books I was busily working away on are out soon, so take a look at my BOOKS page to see what out now and what on it's way.
Here's the very cute lion & Zebra. I'm so happy with these little board books cant wait for them to be out and about!

Finally, it's out today! The Grandpa Book.The second book after A little book about Me and My Grandma.

It's another special book to write, draw and store your favoutite memories about you and your Grandpa.
There's even a little card in the back to write and send!
Published by The Five Mile Press, you can read more about it HERE
Evie (our naughty but very cute little Dachshund) makes a few appearances in this one.
I like to include places I love going  in these books, so when you get a chance to see a copy, try and spot Cradle Mountain. I've even included the Stone wall at Barwon Heads. Which is one of our favourite spots for eating fish & chips.

Last drawing activity for the Holidays! Well our holidays anyway.

One of my favourite animals to draw are birds....no surprises there! And I have been thinking about how unfair it is that the males are so much more colourful than the females.
So I have come up with a solution, I've giving the girls a bit of colour with that essential winter accessory the scarf!
