About
I am an illustrator and artist. I am fortunate to live on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, Australia which is a beautiful and inspiring part of the world. When I’m not drawing or painting I love to crochet and sew and read and run. My illustrations are usually centred around characters, especially children. I also enjoy doing pastel portraits and often exhibit in local art shows.
I absolutely love your blog, and all your beautiful pictures. I think we share similar tastes, and we have some favourite illustrators in common. You are much better at drawing children than I am though! I love your loose use of watercolour; it gives such energy and life. You’re very versatile too. Lovely stuff.
Your work is so inspiring, I plan to put my work in the young artist section in the Derinya art and craft exhibition this year 2010!

Love your work
Hi Karen (I’m Susan’s mum). I love your work – your illustrations really make me smile, and I love your “dribbly” watercolours. Yes it is scarey having an exhibition. No doubt Susan has told you that I am having my first exhibition in October in Wagga Wagga – it is something I had never even thought about until I was asked to have one!! Who would have thought at age 72 that I would be doing this. Nearly all my work is pastel which I love – it is so instant. Keep up your wonderful work and I will proibably catch up with you next time I am needed to look after Max, Ed and Arch. Belinda
