The uniquely Australian prints inspired by the rich colours of the nation, its fauna and flora and well-known landmarks were so well received, that what had begun as a sideline to her law studies developed into a full-scale operation.
She won Victorian and national awards for her tee-shirt designs, and received international recognition in 1992 when she was selected from hundreds of artists world-wide to design for the charity Peter Pan Japan.
Since then, she has received many high profile commissions including the Australian Olympic Bid Committee, the Australian Broadcasting Commission, M.B.F, Don Spencer, Angus and Coote, Japan Grey Line, Care Australia, Childflight, JTB, N.S.W Roads and Traffic Authority, Ayers Rock Resort Management, Crown Casino Melbourne, Nuance Global Traders and Taronga Zoo. Alongside indigenous painters, she was Principal Artist for Australia's Centenary of Federation 1901 - 2001.
In the past four years, she has exhibited in many group exhibitions, competitions and displays, and completed successful solos in Sydney, California, and Singapore. Her sales and commissions have spread extensively into homes and commercial premises across the globe, including this year the Hamilton Island Resort, Queensland.
"At this point in time I am inspired by all things that are full of vigor and strength of force - for me a simple flower has this action and effect. Anything that pulsates with life and energy I find tantalising and stimulating."
