Things that inspire me; Travel, different<br />
cultures, nature, people, the bohemian life,<br />
music, movies, Interior/fashion magazines,<br />
and other creative minds, you could say, just<br />
about everything and I find myself constantly<br />
referencing these when creating new works.<br />
Nature: flowers and foliage and the natural<br />
patterns nature creates has been a recent<br />
obsession of mine, and my new works are<br />
evolving down this path.<br />
What do you love the most about<br />
having your own label?<br />
I think when you are working on something<br />
that is one hundred percent yours, its you! Its<br />
your passion, and you receive and are able to<br />
appreciate one hundred percent of the rewards.<br />
The business is what ever you want it to be.<br />
And it’s a load of fun!<br />
Who are some of your favourite designers?<br />
I adore the works of:<br />
• Ian Francis – Artist<br />
• Kasper Raglus – Totally tubular Art<br />
• Paul White – Visual Artist<br />
• Miranda Skoczek – Artist<br />
• Bridget Bodenham – Potter<br />
• Two One Elephant / Hiroyasu Tsuri – Artist<br />
• Katie Young - artist<br />
What is your favourite item in your<br />
store right now and why?<br />
I would have to say my Gypsies Kiss print, she<br />
is just the right amount of whimsical. Inspired<br />
by the peachy kiss of the sun on the sky at<br />
dusk. This bohemian feathered beauty is a free<br />
spirited wanderer and a reminder to live for<br />
today.<br />
What has been your biggest highlight?<br />
My focusing so far has been on building my<br />
business and creating the Little Quarters<br />
brand, releasing my range of Limited Edition<br />
Prints, expanding into homewares, and in the<br />
early stages of expanding in other areas.<br />
I have been so fortunate to have a steady<br />
stream of work float through my inbox since<br />
deciding to focus on Little Quarters full time.<br />
My stockist list is expanding throughout<br />
Australia and even overseas. I work on a lot<br />
of commission illustrations for various private<br />
collections and I am now starting to attract<br />
businesses and other like-minded creative’s to<br />
collaborate with. It has all come about quiet<br />
naturally, which has been really nice.<br />
My favourite and most rewarding milestone of<br />
late has been the recent sale of a handful of<br />
my original illustrations. All of which have sold<br />
from private enquiries.<br />
Is there anything else you would like to tell<br />
us about your business?<br />
I would LOVE to share with you all that I am<br />
taking part in this years Finders Keepers<br />
Market in Melbourne on the 25th and 26th of<br />
July. I have a beautiful little collaboration, which<br />
I will hopefully be releasing in time for FK so<br />
stay tuned.<br />
I would love to see your faces, so please come<br />
and say hi and introduce yourself, I will be<br />
releasing lots of new works, so I can’t wait for<br />
the event.<br />
