Artwork Description

There is something wonderfully familiar about Millie. Perhaps it is the quiet ritual of hanging freshly washed sheets on the line, watching them catch the breeze while the world seems to pause for a moment.
In ‘Washing Day Millie’, this simple domestic scene becomes something dreamlike and unexpected. Millie stands proudly in her brushed pink sweater and bold dark green and white striped skirt, her sleek black bob framing her intriguing, abstract face.
Behind her, the background shifts between warm ochre and deep black, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye into the story.
Created for the art lover who sees beauty in the ordinary, ‘Washing Day Millie’ invites you to pause and imagine her story.
Finished with a protective gloss varnish and presented in a professionally handcrafted Tasmanian Oak floating frame, this contemporary surrealist-naïve work is ready to hang and become a distinctive conversation piece in your home.
For the collector drawn to art with personality, warmth and a little mystery, Millie is waiting to come home.

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.
