Inspiration: 
My ceramic art style reflects the relaxed Australian lifestyle, and is inspired by ocean blues and sandy beaches, to the green and brown of tea tree stained fresh water creeks and bushlands of the Australian Coast. The IndieBay name was created by marrying my beautiful partner in crime Indie the Husky, and my love of the Northern Rivers Shire (IndieBay).

Environmental Stance:
I love the beautiful environment that we live in and am very diligent about the environmental footprint of my work. My small studio runs on solar power and collected rainwater, and my clothing line is ethically sourced, organic, sustainable and fair trade certified. All print work is done here in Australia. 

​

Thankyou:

Since starting IndieBay I have received the most incredible kindness and support from so many of you, and I am forever humbled that you love and embrace my work. I pride myself on providing great care and diligence in my work, and to your experience of it. I believe in quality over quantity and people over profit, always.

Thanks for Visiting Indie Bay x
