Artwork Description

Phillip Island is home to Australia's largest colony of little penguins, with an impressive 40,000 breeding penguins found on the Summerland Peninsula. Little penguin rehabilitation jumpers are crucial for saving injured penguins. When oiled penguins are rescued at the Phillip Island Wildlife Clinic, these knitted jumpers prevent them from reaching their oily feathers with their beaks until staff can clean them. The ‘Knits for Nature’ program has collected over 200,000 jumpers from generous knitters worldwide over the past 20 years.

Artist Bio

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work!
I'm an artist based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, where I create in a variety of styles and mediums. My practice is rooted in a love for vibrant colour and expressive form, spanning from quirky naïve art and linocut prints to abstract works, portraits, surrealism, and impressionism. I work primarily with acrylics, oils, and rich oil pastels, allowing each piece to come to life with its own unique energy and personality.
