Coconut in the yard

Every day, in these strange times, I enjoy this small suburban backyard with my cat, Coco. She has a particular routine of yard exploration, every day is the same, punctuated with some small differences. Sometimes she watches a butterfly float past, she unsuccessfully chases a lizard, she finds a weird smelly patch to enjoy. We go in circles, too, they are just too big to take notice of.

Artist, illustrator, engineer. Sharing the things I make and living on a beautiful mountain. 🎨

I love painting in different styles and creating whatever takes my fancy. I like to think you can see my voice in each piece I create. I love making still life, landscape, portraits, woodworking, and colour pencil illustrations

My work has been exhibited all around the world and is held by numerous private collectors. I've had my work featured in publications including Frankie, Little White Lies (UK), Yen, NYLON, Elle Girl (South Korea), as well as countless others. You can find my illustrations on all 10 Aussie covers of the Friday Barnes series by R.A. Spratt.

My experience in illustration includes advertising, children’s book illustration, textile design, editorials, asset creation for an animated TV commercial. Clients include Penguin Random House Australia, Oxfam America, Officeworks, and Saatchi & Saatchi.

I also lived in Germany for years and am fluent in the language and loved visiting museums when I lived there. You can see the influence of my time there in my still life paintings.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks very much for your time and for having a look at my art. :)
