Ever heard of ‘quilling’? Yeah, neither had I.

Looking through the library when I was about 10 years old, I stumbled across a book on quilling and immediately had to try it. I would literally sit at home for hours cutting pieces of paper into strips and rolling them up into amazing shapes and pictures. Thank goodness, I eventually discovered you could buy pre-cut paper!

Growing up in a tiny country town, I didn’t have a lot of resources to learn much about digital design before heading to uni, but what I did discover was a love for painting and paper. Almost for as long as I can remember I’ve been drawing, painting, sewing or just creating in some way. My mother was an amazing sketcher and I am forever thankful for the time she spent teaching me to draw and encouraging me.
