This sweet little bird flitters by and I by some miracle manages to get a few Live Photos, the motion of flight and variation between birds is fascinating to me.

Such a fleeting movement its invisible to the naked eye.

I thought it lended well to cards as it feels like the cycle of contact and sending your message on its way. Plus mistletoe birds are super sweet.

There are some original post card size prints in my originals shop but this is a great budget friendly way to purchase art.

Snail mail! I love letters and cards but it has become such a rare thing today and so out of our rhythm of life. I say let’s bring it back.

This design originally just a funny water colour I thought would make a great wrapping paper/ wallpaper/ fabric has turned out to be my favourite card. hopefully it finds the right crowd and doesn’t just gross people out!

Painted originally on canvas these bright camellias brought such joy to me when they popped open in my garden.

I just really get a kick out of my own puns. Snail mail came about while going through my paper works deciding on card design and I couldn’t be happier. Defiantly keeping aside some of these for me.

Pops of colour in the blooms and a peaceful dappled light through the trees I thought these would lend well to expressing love and joy to loved ones. From my heart to yours to whom ever you bestow them upon. It gives me joy just to think on the string of affection and appreciation.

High resolution print of a fun watercolour I painted a few years ago. A play on the term snail mail not everything needs to be instant sometimes it is nice to get something other than bills and junk mail in your post box!

Printed on quality 100% recycled post consumer card stock. Beautiful matte finish that feels so good in your hand.

Part of why I remain completely tethered to traditional mediums is the tactile nature of holding the paint and brushes feeling the feedback, the relationship between me and the paint, the tending, the close observation of moisture, slight colour variation amongst many other tiny things.

To have a product made it was important to me that it feels good in your hand with as little impact to planet as possible!

Life drawing has been an ongoing practice from me. hours on hours of studying human form, seeing humans vulnerably is such a beautiful intimate thing.

The colours in this one melded so beautifully that I’ve kept it displayed in my home for the past few years. But i’m ready to let her go.

19.5 × 30 cm

Talk about fleeting and immortalising impermanent moments. This was micro seconds, that in my mind I can flit back to and see the swift flittering hovering right beside me. I miraculously managed to capture a Live Photo of this sweet little red breasted bird. eternally grateful the image can live outside my brain as well as inside it.

I went on to sketch and paint my way to these mini pieces and a larger piece I may or may not have destroyed. Time shall tell…

Available as a set of 4 as seen in photos

10.5 × 15 cm watercolour on cold pressed paper

I love the framed specimens. If I am ever in a big city and make it to the museum you will find me going through everyone of the specimen drawers. Exited to see the next collection with each pull of the handle. So much variety and zero chance of being crawled on!

That is where the seed for this project was planted. Though I didn’t know it yet all the photos I took of butterflies, beetles and moths became the reference material for my butterfly pieces this year.

Deconstructing and reconstructing the symmetry of these marvels of nature was at first like going cross eyed but became a sort of meditative practice.

Painted on ply board

Size 15cm x 31.5 cm × 2.5 cm

Part of a larger body of work capturing the rush of excitement and fleeting nature of the natural world.

Blink and you will miss a Butterfly, to be able to cease time and capture the vibrancy of the form in paint is joyful.

Brining beauty, brightness and connection to nature into homes is part of my creative dream. The art we choose is so personal and I hope this lands with someone who will treasure it through time and pass it down to their family.

Recycled timber is one of my favourite things to Paint on and I have been lucky to reclaim lots of beautiful timbers from the tip. Freshly cut ‘waste’ from the building industry given new life and treasured as the precious resource it is.

Blue blooms are just magic to me. These butterfly like petals all hovering together in a pom pom like structure are a joy and challenge to paint.

Bring a little outside inside with this everlasting bloom.

Pansys have always felt like happy little flowers to me. They look like they have just sprung up with a smile on their little faces. Maybe its tied to Alices adventures in wonderland, the magic of childhood spent looking at a micro world getting so low to the ground. Looking up through the grass and blooms.

This piece is part of my grandmas flowers series. Full of nostalgia of simpler times wandering through the garden with time and possibility stretching out before me. That feeling of joy when spotting a bloom has carried with me into adulthood.

I hope this piece lands in a home to serve as a window into the garden. A reminder to stop and spot the magic in nature both cultivated and wild.

Created from a reference of my garden this piece was painted in acrylic and is 25 cm x 20 cm on canvas.

Bright saturated colour and a painterly feel.

I love bugs. Love Love them. This series was born of a need to collect the joy of observation, visual specimens.

For the house plant killers, mysterious pet collectors who don’t need another life to be responsible for. This collection is for you and for me. unreadable plants, stingless skulls, unreal butterflies moths and beetles.

Like wildly rich aristocrats of the past hoarding vast collections of plant specimens and exotic animals from their travels in glass walled humid greenhouses. but without the possibility of imminent distraction leading to death.

Cruelty free specimens that preserve the curiosities of flora and fauna.

I grew up in colder climates with daffodils, azaleas, rhododendrons and roses. The icy winter breaking open into bright tender juicy spring blooms felt like magic.

These transition times are fleeting as are the blooms. That all at once spring into existence then wilt and wither just as swiftly. To meticulously immortalise that moment in a meditative layering of shapes, one hundred hues of green and thousands of layered brushstrokes.

A window to the gardens of memory.

I find the most mundane of moths and butterflies to be the most interesting the subtle changes in their tones, intricate patterns and camouflage. So un assuming and surprising in their ability to be hiding in plain sight.

Cruelty free everlasting butterfly.

Painted as part of a triptych on reclaimed pine board. These pieces sit really well together but also stand alone nicely.

This was so fun to make, I started this project with my daughter. priming the boards with a protective layer and then a base colour that I scratched out the shape of the beetles. This way of sketching made a skeletal framework to layer up the shells and led to a texture to work up from. I wanted them to keep their child like feeling simple and fun. The blades of grass were a joy to paint and I couldn’t leave them alone I kept wanting to come back and play.

I hope this comes across in the final pieces and they bring a sense of joy and wonder to your home if you choose them. As they have to mine in the making!
