Will You Be My Cow Friend

This painting was inspired by a funny conversation where someone was asking how to say "Will you be my girlfriend?" in Mandarin Chinese. The words for "girl" and "cow" sound pretty similar and it ended up sounding like they were asking for the person to be their cow friend.

Either way, a bovine friend sounds like a pretty cute option to me.

This painting would look great with wide white matting and a simple frame.

I am a Sydney-based artist working primarily in fluid mediums; watercolour, inks and gouache.

After years of dabbling in various forms of art and craft including collage, stamping and photography, I stumbled on a drawing course in 2010 and was immediately hooked. Since then I have explored various other mediums, primarily focusing on watercolour after the arrival of my two children.

I am largely Inspired largely by our planet’s beautiful flora and fauna and particularly enjoy capturing subjects close-up with their personality on full display.

In my artwork, I aim to capture watercolour’s natural movement by allowing different colours and pigments to flow together, building layers to enhance shapes and value shifts, and painting in a way that displays the texture of the surface beneath.

I love playing with different colour palettes to bring out different emotions, particularly through complementary colour schemes, limited colour palettes and painting monochromatic black subjects without using true black pigments itself.

Thank you so much for viewing at my artwork, and I hope that you find something that you connect with.
