i started making things from the moment i was born. Whether it was candles or cooking, sewing or painting, i did it. if it could be crafted i wanted to craft it. my parents are the same so it wasn't hard to find good teachers and my father was also a leather worker in his spare time. making superbly crafted stock whips my father instilled in me a love for leather craft.
my background however is art based. i left high school in australia so i could attend a more art orientated program in sweden for a year. i then got my degree in photographic art from queensland college of art, griffith university. after graduation I exhibited my art work for a while and was employed to develop an art gallery for creative training aboriginal corporation where i stayed for 2 years. but it was japan that beckoned me, so for a year i went and for 3 it kept me. 2 of which saw the inspiration and development for te. and my love for craft rekindled.
Having gained art training and an understanding of design along with the teachings of my father i was able to realize more. i could create work that had my own personal touch and idiosyncrasies. te. was born.
