Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This piece started off just as some experimenting with Banksias but suddenly I had the urge to paint a Rainbow Lorikeet as well. When I paint, sometimes I can end up somewhere so different to what I had planned initially and I love that!

I have spurts where I just have to paint little canvases (25 x25cm) because I think they look great sitting on a mantlepiece or sideboard with a bunch of flowers next to it. They can be framed or simply left as is and look great! There is string on the back if you prefer to hang it.

I have been a creative for as long as I can remember - always doodling, sketching, painting and making. I get influence from people close to me as well as nature that surrounds and intrigues me - particularly Australian flora and fauna. I am inspired by ancient and tribal art, colour, patterns, symbolism and expressionism. I have a quirky sense of humour and fun, so that usually comes through in my pieces as well.
