Commissioned Art

I love drawing and painting - and music, dance and our garden.
I love noticing nature around us and the little details ... noticing the dragonfly, the tadpole resting on the rock below the water, the lizards guarding the little step bridge, the birds endeavouring to have conversations with us ...


I try to notice the magical moments around us.

​

My preferred or favourite media is watercolour, highlighting and embellishing with gold and metallic paint.
For some of my quality Art prints I hand embellish to make each unique.
I also use line, pen, and can create digitally drawing directly into Illustrator or Procreate.

​

I also like to create unique portraits that catch the essence of a child or person, or animal/pet.

I honour the custodians of sacred stories, of dreamings, and the connections with the deep earth.
As a resident of the beautiful Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia I acknowledge the Dharug and the Gundungurra Nations as the traditional custodians of this beautiful land in which we live and I honour and pay my respects to the Elders past and present and becoming, with blessings of peace.
