Moonlight Fairie

I wanted to paint an innocent and beautiful young woman faeire whose body blended in with the leaves of a flowering gum tree There are many textures bringing this painting to life - for example modelling texture and sand medium was used for the moon. Modelling texture was also used on the gum leaves , the flowers and the faeries body. Small pieces of twine added to the gum flowers and painted with acrylic paint plus hessian attached to some of the gum leaves making the painting multi dimensional and fascinating. You will also see the faeries' skin has an opalescent glow as part of the layers.

The painting is set in a beautiful black wooden floating frame. It is ready to hang with a wire and D-rings for secure hanging.

This painting will look delightful in a bedroom or living room.

I believe life is too short to paint in just one medium. Curiosity inspires my creative journey, whether I’m working in watercolour, acrylic, oils or mixed media.

Nature is my greatest teacher. I find inspiration in the quiet moments that often pass unnoticed—a weathered gum tree, the stillness of water, balanced stones, the beauty of wildlife, or the colours found in everyday life. Through colour, light and texture, I hope my paintings invite you to pause, look a little closer and discover beauty in the ordinary.

As an artist and teacher, I love sharing the joy of creativity and connecting with people through art. Thank you for visiting my gallery. I hope you find a piece that speaks to you and brings a sense of calm, wonder or connection into your home.

Every painting takes on a new life when it finds a home and connects with someone else’s story. Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery.
