‘Possums of Australia’ design collection
Yes I have a possum obsession!
Maybe you do too?
I decided to illustrate all 27 species of possum and glider that live in Australia. I’ve loved these critters for a long time, perhaps because most of them live in forests, and I also love forests.

Organic Cotton Tea towels are available now for 2 of these designs!
