I visited Colleen at her AMAZING home studio just outside of Orange. Colleen’s also a garden designer, and quite a good one at that… Her studio is located in a gorgeous corrugated iron shed in the back garden that she shares with her husband. Dried flowers, grasses, berries and seed pods are scattered throughout the room providing inspiration and a beautiful neutral colour palette. Colleen tells me she works in monotone to draw your eye to the pattern, texture and structure of the plants she interprets.

We talk horticulture, history, inspiration, collecting, technique and materials, enjoy….

In July earlier this year I was invited to be interviewed for a brilliant new podcast the Rural Compass by Samantha Meurant.

The Rural Compass is dedicated to bringing you an interview each week with women living and working hard in rural and remote areas across Australia. Sam and I had a chat about how the gallery came about back in 2014, a few tips for artists and other small business owners living in regional areas and talk about other great women in business that inspire us. Have a listen!
