I was born in New Zealand and moved to the beautiful city of Canberra just before my first birthday.  I now live with my family of boys in the Macedon Ranges , which is very similar in climate to what I call ‘Home’.  I have been involved with the Arts and Crafts movement at some level for most of my life, as I grew up the youngest member of an actively creative family.  I worked for 13 years in the family business, Blithe Bebes, where we taught porcelain dollmaking.  

I have been lucky enough to have had exposure to several excellent sculpting teachers, and I also traveled to the US to study antique doll conservation and restoration.  I completed several commissions in porcelain for convention workshop pieces, shopping centre Nativity Scenes, and a set of ¾ life sized puppets in porcelain.  

In 2001 my husband’s job moved us to Victoria .  Since then I have been working predominantly with polymer clays and metal clays, and honing my ceramic mould making skills and assisting in the development of a national certification program utilizing Contemporary Clays.  

I am a member of the National Original Doll Artists Association of Australia (NODAAA), and a member of the PMC Guild.

I teach craft part time and since joining The Macedon Ranges Arts Collective in early 2009 have further developed my Jewellery design and production skills, and also begun exploring the possibilities of Lampworked glass.
