Nettie Lodge: I am a children's book author and illustrator and a freelance artist living and working in my studio on Scotland Island. I lecture part time in Design at Torrens University. I exhibit regularly but most recently I have been writing and illustrating children's book. My most recent solo exhibition was at the Manly art gallery, in 2018, exhibiting over 40 pieces of work based on the Coleridge poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I have delivered lots of readings of my books at primary schools throughout Sydney.
