Stemming from a childhood spent in the Pilliga scrub, the Australian landscape & flora are the subjects of my heart - wild, unruly, interesting and so beautiful.
Many hours were spent wandering through the bush with my determined and fit Oma who's love of Australian flora & fauna left an imprint on my young soul. She would collect & dry seed pods & flowers, and arrange them so beautifully, I've realised that this is also largely my practice as a person and as a painter.
Today, I have an Australian native garden on the edge of the bush where I gather my seed pods, blooms and foliage to create still life pieces that bring colour and joy into the home. When I'm not working on a still life piece, I am rendering a landscape that has inspired me, the coastline in particular is a constant source of inspiration.
Thank you so much for visiting my profile and thank you to Bluethumb for making it so easy for us to connect.
* A little side note - this month has been busy with new collectors jumping on board..thank you! Can't wait to bring you some more paintings soon.
