THE INSPIRATION
My art explores the colour and form of Australian gum trees, as I attempt to capture both the frailty and the strength of these gentle eucalyptus giants.
Aptly named, "Soleil" was inspired by brilliant winter sunshine which causes gum leaves to positively radiate and glow. This is one of a series of paintings I have enjoyed since the weather cooled - where the focus is largely on the use of bright cheerful colour, and a semi-abstract composition. I imagine Soeil will brighten any corner, wall or stairwell in your home.
IN SITU PHOTOS
I have provided you with 'in situ' photos so you can see how this painting may add colour to your home. Feel free to reach out with pictures of your own space and I can virtually insert the painting for you. In situ photos provided here may not be perfectly to scale.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born into a family of musicians, authors, actors, photographers and painters, it was natural that life lead me here, poised at the canvas, brush in hand. I live entirely off-grid at my bushland home in rural Victoria with hubby, dogs and a gorgeously prolific vegetable garden.
I use art to express my immense - well, let's say obsessive - passion for the indigenous landscape, which is easily recognised in my vibrant colourful and sensitive artworks. Luscious layers of pigment are applied with energy and spontaneity, often switching from brush to palette knife to provide additional texture and depth to my paintings.
COMMISSION REQUESTS
Like something similar in a different size or using different colours? I am really happy to discuss commission requests.
Please note, I do not produce prints or absolute replicas of my artwork. Your painting is one-of-a-kind.
FRAMING
It would look great framed, however this is not necessary as the painting is stretched over an internal frame, and is therefore ready to hang.
PACKAGING
My paintings are treated with the greatest care throughout their life in my studio and home, or at exhibitions where they may temporarily hang. I am extremely careful to ensure your art does not suffer scuff marks, dents or scratches; and it will be carefully wrapped in bubble-wrap and sturdy cardboard.
DELIVERY
Delivery is via Australia Post, and insurance is included.
Best,
