Thank you for visiting. My name is Kelley and I am an illustrator and surface pattern designer living in a small rural community in Northland, New Zealand.

I live in a Villa that is 115 years old on one acre, with my husband, three cats, and a dog. We moved here nearly 6 years ago from Australia, looking for a lifestyle change and a project. I was a senior technical writer, but moving to New Zealand has allowed me to change direction and pursue illustration as a creative career. To follow the ups and downs of our move and the behind the scenes look at my creative process, be sure to sign up for my newsletter and check out my blog.
