Iluka Photo Diary It's not often you find a spot that offers something for everyone in the family (including the dog!). Iluka is a beautiful quiet coastal town in Northern NSW that we first discovered last summer. It has an amazing blend of beach, river, rainforest, and laid-back charm. Iluka is located on the north side of the Clarence River - opposite the more popular town of Yamba which you can visit easily with a ferry.

my sketchbook this week.. I have a routine where I fit 5-15min drawing in each morning before any screens - this fish took me 3 mornings, the paint swatch I already had in my sketchbook. I’ve used watercolours, fineliners & coloured pencil over acrylic paint #marinelife #sketchbook #mixedmedia

I made a starter pack for illustrators and surface designers so we can find each other & connect! Let me know if you’d like to be added (or removed)!
