Hi there! My name is Kerry and I'm a local Brisbane artist, Surface Designer, educator and photographer, who has a deep connection to our Australian birds, flora and landscapes. When I'm not designing, you'll find me bushwalking, exploring and journaling about our local and regional reserves and the nature that inhabits them, gathering inspiration for my work and designs. I also love teaching and helping others to form their own connection to nature, through the wonderful world of nature journaling.
