About Me


Firstly my passion is art and craft, namely bear making.
I am a bear artist, designer and creator of Bare Cub Designs. Having created bears since 2003 I have gone on to market and sell patterns, kits, hold workshops, offer Bear making guides via an online membership site, and author a book Bear Basics and Beyond. My bears have been published in many magazines, Australian Bear Creations (Australia) Teddy Bear & Friends (US)  Teddy Bear Review (US) Teddy Bear Times (UK) Teddy Bear Annual (UK)German News (Germany) and Bears and Buds (US online) My bears have been nominated for some major awards including Toby Award, Golden Teddy Award, Australian Bear Creations and Sydney Teddy Bear Fair including Peoples Choice.

My husband and I live in the beautiful Australian bush just north of Perth in Western Australia, and yes I do have kangaroos in the front yard. I now have a beautiful workspace studio (built by Ray) which inspires my to not only create beautiful work but keep on top of the business side of things. I do work full time in Perth as an Account Executive for the leading telco in Australia. I must admit, this is not as exiting as working in a marketing or advertising role, but i have gained a lot of corporate knowledge and much of it has assisted my creative ventures.
