Marine Life

Much of my inspiration for my mosaics comes from living by the South Australian coast, and from being a scuba diver/snorkeller for 10 plus years. I am passionate about our unique and beautiful creatures and our coastal lifestyle. The Leafy Sea Dragon, Weedy Sea Dragon and Seahorses are, in particular, some of my favourites. Many of the mosaics are framed with driftwood, or designs incorporated with driftwood. This is mostly collected on the South Australian coastline. I am always developing new ideas, inspired by nature’s beauty.
