Hello!

I've often thought about how to truly describe myself with integrity. I could tell you about my job, my family or my advocacy.

Some facts up front: I’m the bestselling author of three books:

• Zentangle®️ Untangled

• The Zentangle®️ Untangled Workbook and

• Amplified Art.

I hold degrees in Visual Art and Design, Education and Law. I have a background in teaching at high school and university levels as well as at art retreats across the United States and Australia. I have practiced in family law, wills and estates and as a Prosecutor, and I’ve worked in industrial law on behalf of teachers. I am also a former political candidate and I am not afraid of my progressive, liberal political stance.

I think, though, the way to really get to know me is through my passions: books, art, music, culture, travel and the absorption of knowledge. I am constantly seeking more knowledge and understanding of this rocky planet we live on.

I’m an avid reader - I am happiest browsing bookshops and reading great stories. I love reading older books that are new to me, memoirs and biographies, authors from different cultures and those books you have to stay up til 3am to finish. You’ll find my reviews of what I read within this website. Reviews are always free.

I have created this website to share those reviews, but also create a repository of great content. Why? Because I believe that there is more good in the world than bad, even on the overwhelming days. Because I believe that those good people and good things are not focussed upon enough on social media or by legacy media outlets. I'm not powerful enough to change those bohemeths, but I can create space for it here, and I hope by sharing it with you, this little corner of the internet can provide safety, space, community and comfort.

Also free is a newsletter I have created called "Be Curious" where I'll tell you about what I am reading - books, articles, blogs - or watching. I hope that by sharing the content of other fabulous artists, we can fill the world with what's important: joy, knowledge and community. That newsletter will come once a week (I hope) and will always be free. I also write about life in the world and locally, cultural and political. I am a woman and my very existence is political - so it belongs here.

If you would like to support independent writing and content creation by subscribing, you can do so for $9.95 (AUD) per month - equivalent to a bad cup of coffee a week. I hope you'll consider it worth your time and money to do so but either way, you get everything I have to offer.

Also, we do not tolerate bad coffee around here. No-sir-ee.

While all of these aspects of who I am draw you a picture, in essence they all come down to one thing: I am a storyteller. I hope you enjoy these stories.
