Kangaroo Joey 'Cadaghi'

Pointillism/Stippling. Ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame (white or black - your choice)

This Kangaroo Joey piece was inspired by one of the new Joeys I saw on one of my walks around the sanctuary, a little lad called 'Cadaghi', so he was named accordingly.

This piece beautifully captures the sweetness of these delightful little Australian macropods. The intricate pointillism technique is testament to my meticulous attention to detail, extreme patience and my love and commitment to this style. This piece took 25+ hours and tens of thousands of tiny dots to complete and will come to you framed in your choice of white or black frame with a matt board to ensure it arrives in pristine condition. You can choose to keep or reframe professionally if you wish.

Kangaroo Joey fun facts: Kangaroo joeys drink milk tailored to their age group.

Imagine having an affectionate, private nutritionist making you a breakfast shake every day formulated to your needs.

The formulation of kangaroo milk changes constantly over the year+ a joey nurses. Its complex, so to summarise: Tiny newborn joeys get a watery, high protein and simple carb, immunity-rich milk; older pouch joeys get high carb, high protein and some fat; big joeys at foot get massive fat and protein and low carbs.

But wait, there’s more. When a mother kangaroo has two joeys of different ages – which is always – she has two unique milk compositions coming out of different nipples at the same time.

Heart Art – ‘Heartfelt Dots & More’

I am new to the Bluethumb community and excited to be here to share my story, artwork, and purpose with collectors and artists alike. (I'm working on adding my finished pieces to the portfolio)

I am a passionate artist and the creative force behind Heart Art, a unique social enterprise that blends the artwork with my profound love for nature, particularly animals. My favourite and preferred medium is pointillism (especially stippling), as this style helps me create realistic texture to my work, allowing you to step into the intricate world of unique Australian wildlife, the mysteries of the deep sea, and all the cherished animals and companions in between that enrich our lives. I am obsessed with them all!

What is pointillism and stippling? Simply put, it is the meticulous placement of tens of thousands of tiny dots onto canvas or paper, to create images that are not just visually striking and detailed, but emotionally resonant. Each dot tells a story, and every piece of art captures the essence and I hope soul of the subject.

A distinctive and fun feature of my work is the inclusion of a small heart in each piece. This heart is not just a symbol, but a testament to my genuine affection for the creatures and an invitation to the collector and/or viewer to find the heart in every piece and get up close to appreciate the detail. My portfolio reflects a deep fascination with the animal kingdom.

When I'm not in my home studio or hanging out with my beautiful greyhound, I lend my heart and hands to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia. This close interaction with Aussie wildlife serves as a wellspring of inspiration for me. My work is sold in print format at Lone Pine, enabling visitors to take a little piece of Australia home with them.

Heart Art isn't just a name; it's a philosophy; it's an expression of my love for nature and her commitment to making a positive impact. My work has found homes in collections around the world, from Australia to Europe and beyond. I donate 50% of all sales of my Elephant artwork to various Elephant charities, but one that is particularly close to my heart, Elephant Nature Park, (Thailand) where I also spend time volunteering every year.
