My next collection titled... Illumination...

I've been back in the studio working on my next collection titled 'Illumination'. I was looking for a subject close to my heart, something to touch, inspire and bring a moment of joy. After a few trips to Maroubra beach to meditate on the theme, the word Illuminate came to mind.

It's a fascinating topic as one can feel it in many different ways but what does it look like? The images below begin to describe it. The colours of the sky, rays of the sun and the moon personify illumination in my world, along with the feeling of a kiss from another precious being. I'm uplifted, my breath taken away by the beauty projected... the combination of elements to produce natures light show, on the interior and exterior of the body.

Motivational Images - For Focus and Daydreaming...

These are some collages I have created around my desk at day job # 1. In order to make this dream come true I currently have 2 "official" jobs, yeah I'm a busy girl. My teams area is the brightest and most colourful I've seen around the company. I'm fortunate to have great colleagues who are each creative in different aspects, making life there quiet interesting. We have a magician, two artists, an innovation guru, budding photographer, shoe designer and then there's me representing THE crucial accessory of any wardrobe - handbags =)
