My Story…..

pattern pulse book page featuring eloise short

Growing up, I entertained myself for hours drawing and painting.  Many a butterfly and princess were quietly created on the lounge-room coffee table in those early years. I continued to develop these technical skills throughout High School and followed my passion onto University, studying both Visual Art at Griffith University and Textile Design at RMIT.  As a professional, I worked for over 15 years as a Textile Designer, Artist and Illustrator. My work has been inlcuded in the ranges of Calvin Klein, Anthropologie, Tigerlily, Peter Alexander and Milk & Thistle to name just a few. My first illlustrated children’s book ‘Leondard the Lyrebird’ by Jodie McLeod won a Whitley Award in 2019 and my work has been featured in Pattern Pulse (Design Book) Edition #1 and Origin magazine #46.

My work over the last decade has organically started to reflect the ‘Treechange’ my family made to the magnificent Blue Mountains in 2011.  I now find I am passionate about creating Art and Design with a strong Australian Native focus and my appreciation of the native Flora and Fauna of this incredible country, continues to grow.

My Art and Surface Pattern Designs are now a celebration of Native Australia and I offer a range of Australian Botanical Giclee Prints. I also offer a Digital Illustration Resource for Creatives, as well as a Custom Surface Pattern Design and Collaboration/Licencing Service.

My respect and commitment to our environment infuses my approach to business.  I partner with Australian specialist manufacturers who use only the finest and most sustainable products for my Print Range.

1% of my revenue goes towards Carbon Removal from via Stripe Payments.

I aim to partner with ethical, sustainable companies wherever I can.

Thank-you for sharing my love of Australian Flora and Fauna and for giving me the opportunity to share my creative world with you.
