Give Me a Home Among the Gumtrees

Eucalyptus leucoxulon rosea is a small Australian native Flowering Gum tree with spear shaped, grey-green foliage that produces striking Pink or Red flowers from April to October. The eucalyptus is a holy tree for the Aboriginals. For them, it represents the division of the underworld, Earth and heaven. The eucalyptus leaf also has a purifying effect, as negative energy disappears in the place where you burn a eucalyptus leaf.

With paint running through her veins, Goulburn-based artist, author, and pattern designer Sami Sparrow was born with a crayon in her hand and the imagination to use it in a million ways.
Sami’s artwork captures her explorations of the natural world and its botanical forms. Using techniques that draw influence from street and tattoo art, along with printmaking and minimalist abstraction, Sami brings life to each creation through her use of bold and vivid colours.
Floral compositions, detailed line work, and distorted shapes are recurring themes. Sami’s minimalist observation of nature offers a sense of both simplicity and refinement.
With a degree in Fine Arts and Visual Arts, Sami developed her eye for creating detailed line drawing with her unique street culture style. Since this time Sami has authored three internationally published colouring books through HarperCollins publisher, had her work licensed to feature on products with multiple companies and has also been showcased in numerous art exhibitions including her first solo show in 2019.
