I received my order to day, I am so impressed ... I find your art stirs up feelings that are hard to put into words. The wrapping and presentation of your art is a reflection on the care and detail you take with your creations . I have purchased original art work from other artists, but none have shown the care and detail that you always have , for this I Thank You.
I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your bird books The Bush Birds and The Beach Birds. You capture not only the physical characteristics of the birds, but also their different personalities and movements. I have always loved lift-the flap books too, so that's an added pleasure :-)
Thanks, too, for the care you take in packaging them and sending them.
I had to check my order from yesterday as today I received a lovely little box. I didnt think online shopping could be so super speedy. Not only swift but great packaging, beautifully wrapped and a couple of little touches. Excellent service, delivery and total package.
Thanks, great job!
I'm so excited, my shipment arrived today! All beautifully presented ... You are so talented, your work is exquisite. The flaps [in the children's book] are fabulous! Just superb! This will be a well loved book. Thank you very much.

My children's books introduce readers to birds found in Australia (12 species in each book) engaging them with riddles or rhymes, and illustrations created using traditional printmaking techniques. Each book also has an accompanying game that helps children continue learning through recognition and repetition
I make all my original prints by scratching the image into metal (this is called drypoint,) inking them up and running them through my printing press, transfering the image from the plate onto the dampened paper. Each print in the edition has to be inked up individually. I keep my editions small, mainly because I want to get onto the next piece!
