Bologna Children’s Bookfair






I just returned today from Italy… and I am jetlagged, so jetlagged I took the wrong luggage home and gave a poor Finnish tourist a bad start to their journey.

However, Italy and Bologna were simply amazing! The food, the town, and the busiest week of my life at the fair. Back to back meetings, followed by dinners and work work work – it went by in a sleepless blur, but I was so lucky to be there. Here are a few schnaps from the amazing week!

Emerging Artist Exhibition


Oooh I am excited to be next week a finalist in the Emerging Artist Award and Exhibition, at the Walker Gallery in Dandenong.

I’ve just started putting my work “more out there”, so it is very exciting to see progress… and I’m really looking forward to see some other work. Should be fun.

Embarrassingly, when I went to hand in my work, children’s book illustrator Leigh Hobbs was there and I introduced myself with the babble that I hoped to be a kid’s book illustrator one day. Fate or awkward!? :)
