Where are you from originally and where do you live now?  I was born in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia back in the 80s :) between now and then I moved with my parents halfway up the east coast of Australia and as I got older we slowly made our way back down the coast again.  I now reside back in Sydney but in the heart of the city where the world feels alive.

Where are you from originally and where do you live now? I grew up in a rural town in Southern NJ called Port Republic. My childhood was spent playing outdoors in the woods and along the rivers and creeks. I have always been inspired by Nature (originally wanting to be a botanical illustrator) and the forms in my current embroidery work are directly inspired by the observations of my youth. Currently I live in Brigantine, NJ which is a small barrier island just north of Atlantic City. I live ½ block from the ocean with my husband Scott, son James,...
