Thank you!

Research for a new body of work, looking at historical and proposed fragmentation of our natural native landscapes of Kangaroo Island. Feeling so greatful for @guildhouse_au Catapult Mentorship Grant with @Sera waters for allowing me to open my heart and follow my dreams. I feel it is my duty of care, to raise awareness of the environmental issues facing our Island home. I hope to bring positive change for future generations. Together we can work to protect and restore our endemic flora and fauna.

Exploring an old 70s commune site from down the road. The community left to support, the good fight to save the Franklin river from being damed. It so important to keep fighting for what we believe in, don’t surrender! Keep following your path✌🏻

Meet Kevin the rescue kangaroo. We have so many wonderful volunteers on the Island that open there hearts, and homes to care for injured and orphaned wildlife. The cost to raise a kangaroo with milk powder is around $1,000. We have now opened our property as a soft release site.

Inspirational morning at the South Australian Herbarium in the Botanical Gardens. I am in the process of creating and growing my own botanical collection of flora from our biodiverse heritage listed bush land in the remote north west of Kangaroo Island. .

As the day draws to a close, we thank our lucky stars ✨ that we have each other and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. I am looking forward to decking out our new little home 🏠 for friends, family and some very special workshop guest @bushorganics in the new year. We picked up this beauty from the guys @bbscustomvintagecaravans🙏

A flash from the past, seems like another lifetime. Pictured, a review by the Evening Standard of my London boutique, studio and workshop from about 16 years ago!

Earring Studs. Recycled 22ct Gold with 18ct Gold post. Cast from our regional rare Eucalyptus viminalis. We are working to protect these ancient trees in our property from introduced Koala 🐨 populations.

Treasures coming together. Gum nuts cast in 22ct Gold from Eucalyptus viminalis, now regional rate due to introduced Koala populations decimating the gums from over browsing as it is there preferred food choice.

Coastal Revegetation project I have been working on with the Community & Coastal Protection for about eight years at Vivonne Bay. The ‘Help a Hoodie’ Sign layout was designed by me, as part of a community grant project to create awareness about beach nesting birds. It’s amazing how quickly you can make a significant change to areas and encourage humans to walk different ways to protect our dunes from erosion and also provide nest protection for our beach nesting birds.

We must continue to join together as a community and stand for what we believe in. Our oceans are way to sacred to sacrifice. Let’s continue to keep South Australia Beautiful. This image is taken from ‘Hands Across the Sand’ a few years ago, an event which I organised at Stokes Bay on Kangaroo Island. Together we stand against offshore deep water drilling and seismic testing in our Great Australian Bight and surrounding waters, It’s still under threat! Join the insta community to see how you can support these fantastic organisations working to bring out real change for the 🌏 and our children @greataustralianbightalliance @kivhdolphinwatch @thewildernesssocietysa @seashepherdaustralia @bobbrownfoundation .

My daughter and I collected plastic along the beach on the south coast under a rainbow 🌈 which stayed with us all afternoon, even while we went for a snorkel after our long walk. Where ever you are, you can help to make positive changes to the world 🌎 @plasticfreejuly 🐬🐳🐠
