Artwork Description

My love of Australian native flowers, pattern and contrasting colour shines through with this effective painting.

I adore Australian native flowers - for their variety of shapes, colours and small details. They are structural yet have so many interesting textures to depict such as soft bristles compared to sharp 'petals' and waxy leaves.

Artist Bio

Hailing from Byron Bay and now living in Brisbane, I have spent my life engrossed in arts industries and creative adventures.

The events of last few years has caused a renewed passion in me making for myself rather than retail product. With a shift from my long loved ceramics practice, I feel renewed in creating colourful still life paintings inspired by the beauty of flora and the everyday.

I began my professional life as a Graphic Designer working for advertising agencies both in Australia and the UK and now hold separate tertiary qualifications in Design, Visual Arts, and Primary Education.

With a lifelong love of the arts and a passion for arts education, I began my own business, Artfolk, in 2016. Offering creative workshops and events to individuals and communities, I have had the great pleasure of workshopping for amazing businesses such as Woodford Folk Festival, Mind Body Spirit Festival, Brisbane Stitch & Craft Show, Sheridan Australia, Ipswich Libraries, The Market Folk and many more.
