“There’s something special about designs from your heart out there in the world. It connects you to the process of designing wallpaper , fabric for clothes, and home decor in a way that gives you respect and curiosity for the materials used and the process itself”.

Bern Meagher is an Australian artist and Surface Pattern Designer based in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. Her lifelong passion for art, from as far back as she can remember, was rekindled after years of family life and a corporate career — inspiring her return to creativity with fresh energy and purpose.

Working primarily in watercolour, Bern creates whimsical, nature-inspired designs that blend imagination with the beauty of her surroundings. Her work reflects a love for illustration, botanical themes, and timeless Australian influences, reimagined through a modern, whimsical lens.

Each pattern and artwork is part of Bern’s ongoing creative journey - a celebration of curiosity, growth, and the endless inspiration found in nature and everyday life.
