Artwork Description

Growing in very wet coastal areas, the walking stick palm can be found from Taree in New South Wales to Gympie in Queensland. Jacky found this one in Mount Tamborine, high up in the Gold Coast hinterland while exploring with her children. Its unique leaf shape and draping flower spikes create a beautiful shadowy silhouette.

‘Walking Stick Palm Moment II’ has been created with a deep palette inspired by the dense understory habitat in which it is found. When hung alongside its sister piece, ‘Mangrove Fern Moment I’, ‘Walking Stick Palm Moment II’ creates a bold and contemplative landscape of the shadowy forest undergrowth.

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.
