Phillip Island Home Sweet Home

Two little penguins stand side by side beneath a sky alive with shimmering gold, layered textures and fragments of colour, quietly reminding us that home is less about a place and more about who we share it with.

Inspired by the magical evenings of Phillip Island - the artist's home - this original artwork celebrates the island's iconic Little Penguins and the sense of belonging they represent. Gold leaf catches the light from every angle, while soft blues, earthy neutrals and unexpected bursts of colour create depth and invite the viewer to discover something new each time they look.

Created using acrylic, resin and genuine gold leaf on a circular timber panel, Home Sweet Home: Phillip Island is designed to bring warmth, wonder and a touch of coastal magic into your home.

Whether you've walked the beaches of Phillip Island or simply treasure the feeling of finding your place in the world, this piece is a gentle reminder that home is where love, connection and nature meet.
