Tess Guinery is a dancer by upbringing, a designer by trade, and an artist by calling. After graduating from the Karl Von Busse Institute of Design in Australia, she started her own freelance business. She soon established herself as a sought-after creator, but with design work bursting at the seams, Tess pressed pause and decided to take a sabbatical to explore her inner artist, to express, and ultimately to create unbound--which led her to the making of her tangible art piece, The Apricot Memoirs. She currently lives by the sea in Palm Beach, Australia, with her stuntman husband and their three spirited daughters.
