About Solitaire

 
I acknowledge and honour the Darkinjung people as the traditional custodians of the land and water in which my family lives. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Always was, always will be. 

 

The love and appreciation I have for nature is the cornerstone of my artistry. My fascination for intricate details, shapes, lines, patterns and magnificent colours that are formed so perfectly, yet imperfectly in the natural world around us, inspire my creativity.

Having a unique upbringing in a remote part of tropical Far North Queensland shaped my perspective and love of nature. My childhood was spent walking through the pristine rainforest, beachcombing the shores of secluded islands that had rarely been touched. I spent many hours snorkeling on the great barrier reef, riding horses through the bush, or rock hopping up the freshwater creeks that were my backyard. These experiences are what fundamentally inform my creativity and artwork today. 

Now settled in the picturesque foothills on the Central Coast of NSW with my husband and three children, I am surrounded by yet another beautiful and inspiring botanical backdrop. This is where “Solitaire’s Designs” was born. 

My wish is to translate my love for and connection to the natural world through my work. Being able to capture mother earth’s beauty on a natural material that translates to wearable art is enormously fulfilling. 

Each piece is completely unique.  Your exclusive design is a reflection of nature’s individual composition, beauty and perfection.  

From Mother Earth to Me to You.
