STILL LIFE WITH IBIS

The Ibis is a newcomer to the suburban landscape. “Still Life with Ibis” transcends boundaries and tells a story of adaptation and resilience. The Ibis, once a reclusive swamp dweller, has undergone a remarkable transformation. No longer confined to its marshy habitat, it now graces our suburban landscapes. This elegant bird is a symbol of survival, a feathered wanderer navigating the concrete jungle. As the ibis soars beyond its wetland origins, it shows its ability to thrive amidst change.

💎 Bluethumb Featured Artist and Rising Star 💎

This collection is created with the hope that original Australian art can feel welcoming and accessible in everyday homes. The pricing is set with care—not as a strict measure of worth, but as an open invitation to bring artworks filled with memory, meaning, and lived experience into your space. In a world where so much feels temporary, these pieces aim to offer something lasting and emotionally grounding.

Guided by Henri Matisse’s belief that artists should keep evolving rather than stay confined by past styles or successes, this body of work reflects ongoing exploration. The variety of styles—from expressive realism and playful scenes to gentle abstractions and wildlife pieces—shows a willingness to grow and follow emotional intuition. Each painting aims to express feeling in a joyful, evocative way. Whether inspired by native flora and fauna, wide Australian landscapes and seascapes, or the freedom of abstraction, every piece seeks to create a meaningful connection with the viewer.

The artist’s practice is shaped by strong Fine Art training and continuous learning, bringing both skill and heartfelt intention to each work.

These artworks have been exhibited widely—from the Hunters Hill and Ravenswood Art Prizes to respected galleries across Queensland, Victoria, and online—and many pieces now live in homes around the world. Solo and permanent exhibitions reflect a commitment to sharing art that celebrates emotion, place, and connection.

Recognised as a Bluethumb Rising Star and Featured Artist in 2024, the artist’s work continues to resonate with collectors both locally and beyond. Many pieces have been warmly received in galleries and venues across Australia, helping weave art into everyday life.

To stay connected with new works as they are released, visitors are encouraged to follow the artist on Bluethumb and social media.
