Fiddle Leaf

Back when houseplants began to trend, the fiddle leaf fig seemed to be the statement plant that everyone fussed about. Though its popularity has waned, it still adds a lushness to any household. (I admit I still get excited when new leaves unfurl on mine.) This is a painting of one of the leaves of my fiddle leaf fig tree.

I am a painter and illustrator based in the Gold Coast. I have previously lived in the Manila, New Mexico, Sydney, the Central Coast, and Canberra. Professionally, I have worked in Advertising and have also done museum work.

My current focus is landscape and plant painting, experimenting with both realistic, and whimsical colours.

Though scenes from nature are my main subject, I have also dabbled in portraiture and still life. Artists I admire include Claude Monet, Cressida Campbell, and James Jean.

The materials I use are artist-grade, ensuring that the paint will not easily fade or crack under proper care.
