How it started .....

Georgie and Willow came to life after spending hours on Pinterest looking  up small business ideas. After being overwhelmed with so many ideas I decided to get myself a Cricut machine and I haven't looked back since. I started out making drink bottles and cups as gifts for my family and it just grew from there. 

The hardest part was coming up with a name. There was pages of names and many ideas but nothing that interested me. So looking up the business name generator it asked me to put in 2 nicknames. So I put my 2 son's nicknames Georgie (Jordan) & Willow (Kane). It just sounded right, so Georgie and Willow became a small business. 

I purchased an earring making kit from my friends and started making the indigenous fabric button earrings, they took off overnight, from there different ideas just kept coming.

I branched out of my comfort zone, taught myself how to paint and I absolutely love it. I wish I had done it sooner. Creating a story for a family or telling my own is so humbling. I don't quite have the words to describe it other than proud. 

Georgie and Willow has moved in to a different direction as painting is my main focus. Creating art always gives me  sense of connection and responcibility to my herritage. Becoming an artist has opened many doors I never thought I would walk through. From attening schools, to art classes to creating peices that are larer than life. I just can't begin to say how grateful and blessed I am.

I have spent many hours teaching myself Yugambeh Language which I incorporate in to all my artwork, if its just one word that people can learn it's a start and we all have to start somewhere.

A bit about me....
