Hi, I’m Lu
Welcome to Sunspell
ABOUT LU…
I am a creative person who wears my heart on my sleeve. I am very partial to an iced latte, love a hug and I am not afraid to let loose on the dance floor or in the supermarket aisle if the song is right.
I am a mother to a fun and funky little dude named Sunday. He is the light of my life, and a big reason why I started this business. Being a mother filters into all parts of Sunspell, it’s made me more of a creative thinker and has helped me realise that anything is possible when I put my mind to it.
In 2022 my small family of 3 relocated to the beautiful town of Woolgoolga. I love the lifestyle and the community, and I feel grateful everyday to call these beaches our home.
I grew up in city of Melbourne, which was an amazing launching pad because of it’s rich diversity in cultures and the creative arts. It’s also a big reason I am such a foodie. I don’t miss the traffic, but I do miss the food!!
In my spare time you’ll find me hanging out at home, playing with my hula hoops, getting creative in my kitchen or in my painting studio.
WHY SUNSPELL?
I have always been mesmerised by how natural light hits in different ways.
How the sky changes colour as the sun rises, or when the sun sparkles off the ocean in a certain way, that golden hour before a sunset.
It’s all magic. A Sunspell.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography has been a hobby of mine for a very long time. I would take my ‘big camera’ to different occasions in my life whether it be holidays, bush doofs or BBQs. On Christmas day ‘23 I took some of favourite photos and it helped me realise how much I wanted to explore photography as a profession. With that, Sunspell Photography was born.
ARTIST
I have been a hand-stitching artist, with a strong focus on patchwork and embroidery for 15+ years. It’s always been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally as I spent a large part of my young adult life devoted to the quilting community/industry. Now I spend my time creating original artwork using acrylic paint, oil crayon and oil pastel.
