The Resource Library: Tools, Tips & Treasures
A curated collection of things I love, use, and recommend - plus a few special freebies for you.
Welcome to my Resource Library.
This is where I’ve gathered everything from the business tools I swear by to the podcasts I paint to - along with free guides and downloads to help you enjoy art in your own home.
Whether you're an art collector, a fellow creative, or simply love thoughtful living, I hope you find something here that inspires you.

Online Creative Courses
I'm a big believer in up-skilling and learning something new regularly, so if surface pattern design is on your creative bucket list, Cass Deller’s course is the best investment you can make.
It’s practical, inspiring, and taught by one of Australia’s leading designers. I’m proud to be an affiliate because I believe in it wholeheartedly.
Message me for a custom code for 10% discount on eligible offers!

Or if you just want to learn the basics for Adobe illustrator or photoshop, Cass can help with that too → LEARN THE BASICS
Branding and Web Design
I love 45 Degrees for branding and web design. They believe in creating new and exciting experiences – experiences that truly matter. Every design, brand, and digital project they take on is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about shaping meaningful interactions that help businesses grow and thrive.

Canvases
I use Southern Buoy framed canvases - All their products are made with sustainable timbers, quality Australian canvas and all by hand in our workshop on the Mornington Peninsula.
Being sustainable is important to me, so I also love that I can reuse their shipping boxes when I send your artwork!

I’ve been thinking a lot about layers...
Homes (like families) are built one layer at a time. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But honestly. Tenderly. Over time.
