Kangaroo Paw

I love all the Australian natives, the Kangaroo Paw is one of the best and inspiration for this Illustration.

The pattern is for textiles and can be seen in my Spoonflower shop.

Australian Outback

So thrilled and happy to receive this little book about Cockatoos by Thames and Hudson last week. Two of my Cockatoo artworks are included along with some of my favourite artists, it's a special privilege to be featured in this book with them! The book is now available in bookstores with an emphasis on conservation of these beautiful birds.

Botanical prints

I really enjoy painting with watercolour paints, it's a great way to relax. Everybody should try it!
These two Australian native illustrations are in my shop now.

Wild flowers

New small painting finished this morning and will be listed soon.

New Work "Wild Horses"

I love the mountains and dream of seeing wild horses running one day. These mixed media prints are in my Etsy shop.

Autumn Leaves

One thing I miss in Australia is the glorious colour of the leaves on the trees in Autumn. Living near the coast we do have other compensations such has the beautiful Australian flowers such as the Banksias and the Grevilleas, which are especially showy after the rains at the end of summer. We have to make a trip into the hills of the Dandenong ranges to see the autumn deciduous trees and it's well worth the trip.
