During the first covid lockdown, I flicked through some old family photos and found wonderful takes of our annual family holiday to the Grampians National Park (Gariwerd), about four hours west of Melbourne, VIC. This painting is from a photo I took from the top of the Pinnacles Lookout in the National Park. I wanted to capture the scene overlooking the lush green bushland and it's farming district. It was important to outline the different greens and yellows, something our country is renowned for and proud of. The rock face to the left is detailed in an animated way to showcase the varying colour of the ancient rock.
I cannot wait to go back and take my family to this natural beauty as it's definately a must see for all in Australia.

Artist Bio
Hello everyone!
I have travelled far and wide with my husband's work for 20 odd years to numerous states around Australia and twice to the USA. I suppose you can call me a defence spouse, Army style!
It was during a posting to the US where I became the 'accidental artist', painting local scenes around Leavenworth County, Kansas and selling my art through word of mouth! This crazy journey has inspired me to continue my love for painting scenes throughout Australia
I feel my artwork is, by virtue, the colours I see and the lines that define them. My art is bright, bold, joyful, unique depictions of life around me through numerous journeys I've encountered in a nature loving form. I draw inspiration from female artists in Maude Lewis, Georgia O'Keefe and Heather Brown who created their own distinct styles and a belief in themselves
For me and my art style, I seek collectors who dare to venture into bright pop/ naive/ contemporary art.
I focus mainly on acrylics and black markers using small to medium size canvas or acrylic paper. Certain picture frames are repurposed and matted with love to reduce the landfill we humans love to create.
I want my artwork to be different, a little obscure, very animated, yet recognisable to admire.
I hope to bring a visual flair to those who adore creative, quirky pieces that express pure joy and an illustrative love of life around us. Your blank wall or tiny computer nook may need a dose of gladness to brighten your
Thankyou so much for reading xx
