During my travels I've loved keeping and eye out for all the different designs, colours, shapes and sizes of the doors and windows of the country I'm exploring. I think they create wonder and mystery for what may lay behind them, and can act as a mini portal into the lives and history of a country's … Continue reading Doors & Windows

Sometimes I've found though, that the best of adventures don't always happen after boarding a plane, train or ship for days or hours, but can be right near your back yard- they just need to be stumbled upon. Here are some amazing landscapes and views from my … Continue reading Landscapes and Views
I love watching the sun set on the horizon. Each time its so amazingly different, I can't help but stare and be in awe of every one that I see. Here's a collection of some that I've been able to capture so far. There are sunsets from home, above the clouds, from a cliff in Fiji, near my … Continue reading Sunset
I find so much inspiration in the smells, colours, shapes, and textures of flowers (as well as even leaves) I find along my travels, as well as from those I'm lucky enough to receive as gifts. They can symbolise love, compassion, sorrow and joy, and can brighten up even the dreariest of days. I hope the photos … Continue reading Flora
I love creating hand made items. Whether they be like the framed timber scrabble- like pieces pictured above, items I can sew, paint, or things that I can create using timber. I find it very therapeutic, and love the little imperfections and qualities of items that are made by heart and hand. If your looking … Continue reading Framed Art
This bedroom revamp was of an older home that had recently been purchased. The dark pink feature wall was in a highly textured paint that had to be sanded back, and the plaster needed patching as it did for the remaining walls of the room. There was existing built in cabinetry to the left hand … Continue reading Bedroom Revamp

I hope you find these photos … Continue reading Dubai, UAE

After never boarding a plane until 2007, I was suddenly somewhere between my 10th and 20th flight only 6 months later, & on my way to the beautiful islands of tropical Fiji. I was here for a wedding, but what a perfect excuse to stay away from the world of hustle and bustle for as long … Continue reading 2008- Tropical Adventures
In 2007 I boarded a plane for the first time, and flew to the other side of the world to Europe, Malta & America with my mum.
