Mountain Blue Song

Found in the heart of Girraween, the Mountain Blue eucalypt is a secret beauty. In their native landscape they don’t command attention; they let you discover it in quiet moments. Their leaves are powerful in their palette, with red and blue-green hues that adorn their near heart shaped foliage.

Mountain Blue Song pairs beautifully with all of the works from the Gathering Eucalypt collection, sharing in their palette. A statement piece, Mountain Blue Song spills out from its frame, filling your space with its joyous colours and whimsical swirl of leaves, singing a song you won’t soon forget.

Smith & Brooks is a collaboration between friends and artists, Kerrin Smith and Jacky Brooks.

‘As lovers of art, lovers of painting, lovers of printing, lovers of canvas, lovers of fine art paper we just needed to create. The feeling of filling a space with a beautiful image is something that drives us both. We collaborate on our colour palettes, themes and compositions. We work out our subject matter based on how it will translate to different mediums. Our works are then created by hand with acrylic paints, brushes and other mixed media.’

Kerrin and Jacky share very similar career backgrounds, having both worked in the videography and photographic industries, as fine art printers and as photo and video editors. Kerrin has a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Jacky has a Bachelor of Digital Arts, which creates a wonderful ‘opposites attract’ dynamic in their work. They both reside on properties in the city/country fringe of Brisbane and draw a lot of their inspiration from their own bushland backyards.
