One of the smartest decisions Alex made when renovating her 1950s home was transforming the garage into an inspiring studio space. “Being able to work from home is a joy,” she says. “My studio has beautiful French doors that open onto the front verandah overlooking my rose and lavender garden beds.”

A talented freelance illustrator and designer, Alex embraces a wide range of commissions. “Food, fashion, animals, botanicals, cars, homes, landscapes, buildings... I will illustrate anything!” she enthuses. “I work from scratch, they’re all hand-drawn. I’m not a digital artist and fairly un-tech savvy at the best of times.”
