I don't have many recent photos of myself that I actually like. That's why I am so greatful to my amazing friend Steph @mostlyminiature for capturing some shots of me in my element leading a workshop this past weekend. You wouldn't pick from this image that I was suffering from a health flare, would you? Behind the scenes, in the lead up to this workshop I was actually really worried if I could pull it all off. The specialist told me that the nephritis had relapsed, I'd been put on heavy doses of oral chemo drugs, that after a few weeks made me iron difficent. But somehow I mustered the strength to cart loads of art supplies into the venue, set up, and be present for my students. You see when you are fueled by passion for what you do, I think the universe conspires in miraculous ways to support you! I'm still feeling the ripples of inspiration from the heart opening experience that we shared over the weekend. I'm so greatful to all the women who joined me to make it such a wonderful experience. And I am bloody proud of myself, despite my health setbacks I am still driven to follow my creative dreams, and inspire others along the way! .

Where would we find you when you're not working at the pub?

Past work experience/history....
Leaving school early, I sought out a carpentry apprenticeship. I quickly learnt what a hard days work is. The skills I picked up have given me the opportunity to move around Australia, and I spent a few years in Brisbane working on various job sites and also for one of Australia's biggest Expo Company.
•
During my time in Brisbane a got a bar job at The Breakfast Creek Hotel. Boasting one Brisbane's biggest beer gardens with seating for over 500 guest 5 different bars it was an amazing place work. Under the tutelage over Sam Gullo and the many great managers and supervisors I was taught the ropes of the hospitality trade. I spent many years at "the creek" and loved every minute.
•
Moving back to Victoria in my late 20's I began working at the Lake View Hotel. I have been lucky enough to be given so many opportunities and as a result, am now part owner of one of Victoria's best country Pubs!
