My passion is bear artistry, I am a bear artist, designer and creator of Bare Cub Designs. Having created bears since 2003 I have gone on to market and sell patterns, kits, hold workshops, offer Bear making guides and author a inspirational book Bear Basics and Beyond. My bears have been published in many magazines, Australian Bear Creations (Australia) Teddy Bear & Friends (US) Teddy Bear Review (US) Teddy Bear Times (UK) Teddy Bear Annual (UK) German News (Germany) and Bears and Buds (US Online) My bears have been nominated for some major awards including Toby Award, Golden Teddy Award, Australian Bear Creations and Sydney Teddy Bear Fair including Peoples Choice.

My signature style has developed with the use of recycled mink garment, spending many hours, scissor sculpting each unique face. Hand creating faux sweet treats from clay to co-ordinate with each cub.

My husband and I live in the beautiful Australian bush just north of Perth in Western Australia, and yes I do have kangaroos in my front yard. I now have a beautiful art studio, built by my husband Ray. My studio decorated to inspire my bear making and marketing my art business. Working full time as an Account Executive for the leading Australian telco, I have gained much business knowledge. My creative ventures have gained from this knowledge, and so I have now created Easy ArtSpace to share with other artists the joy of owning your own Art Business. Easy ArtSpace Builder to give artists the ability to take control of their own web design.

I am now proud to say I am working closely with Teddy Bear & Friends writing from them via the Blog and features in each magazine. I am also very proud to say I am now on the committee for Bears that Care, raising funds for Ovarian cancer research through an online bear show. I am currently creating them a new website that will help women, while also promoting artists
