Hi, I’m Rachel; wood fanatic, a work from home Mum with powerhouse twins, and accidental artist. Actually, artist is probably a little too formal – I prefer arty-farty sign writer.
How did I discover my artistic bent? I made a sign for our chook house. It was more fun than I could have possibly imagined. And it was ART! I was hooked.
Prior to my child wrangling/sign creating life of wonderment, I worked in contract management for a rail engineering company after a career in banking and finance and half a life time travelling – and that’s about as far removed from how I now choose to spend my time.
Working with wood reminds me of the unique and always interesting nature of humans. Which is why many of my items are made for the special day that celebrates bringing two hearts together! We specialise in big days – weddings and event styling.
For the love of wood…
