Tell us about your fur baby.
My beautiful Lucy. She is 6 years old, rescued and we adopted her from Bright Side here in Tasmania. Well, I think she adopted/rescued us from a dull and boring life. Greyhounds are such funny and unique individuals! 
What does BOSA stand for?

How did you get into watercolour and creating your own art?
I have always been a creative person but I didn't discover watercolour until later on in life. I started experimenting with them when the boys were babies. After I popped them to bed I would sit up and paint. It accidentally helped start my business. After sharing some works on Instagram, people seemed to love it and before you knew it I had a box of greeting cards with my art on them. After that it snowballed into more products, designing fabric for other businesses and teaching art! I have loved the whole process!

Where do you get your ideas from? What influences you?
Well, I love nature. I love animals, I love the garden. Anything that connects me back to nature inspires me. I'll see a beautiful bird, or walk through an inspiring garden and get ideas. We go camping and bushwalking often and I am always full of inspiration afterwards.

What is your creative process?
I just let everything flow. Sometimes It flows naturally and immediately but other times I have to sit on a concept for a short time until the design pops into my mind. I find if I am having a creative block, I just need to go for a walk with Lucy on the beach and that fixes the problem. 

What is your website, what and where can people buy your stuff?
www.bosaartco.com and I wholesale to many shops around Australia. I am also at Salamanca Market in Hobart most weekends.

Where can people find you on socials?

What do you do for fun other than creating your amazing prints?
I love to garden and I love to cook. But I have two beautiful young boys who keep me very busy, so I don't have too much free time to do those things. My garden is full of weeds haha. I love to take Lucy to the beach as much as I can. I love to swim and walk in nature.

I am a proud Dyslexic. I always had a hard time at school, but art and everything even remotely creative was/is my thing. I love that I see the world in a different way, it definitely helps influence my art.
