ARTIST & SINGER
It’s the first day of Spring here in Australia.
After what has seemed like a long and rainy winter, our hearts are rejoicing in the promise of warmer days and the myriad of flowers starting to bloom🌸
Magnolias are one of my favourite flowers partly because they bravely start flowering in winter, heralding the new season..but also because of the way they gently unfold.
Prompting me to consider…the intention deep in my soul that is also gently unfolding.
Gratitude… daily gratitude
My online store has a huge selection of Archival Fine Art Prints making it super easy to choose just the right artwork for your walls. Whether your after a vibrant floral, a classic black and white still life or a relaxing coastal scene, I have you covered.
The bonus of travelling and touring as a singer over the years has meant that I’m fortunate enough to sing in some amazing venues. One particular gig was at an old hotel in the Southern Highlands when I was there performing with Sancha and the Blue Gypsies
As we walked into the room, my eye caught a beautiful blue and white vase containing a bunch of luscious lemons sitting on the foyer table. I snapped a quick photo knowing that it would later provide inspiration for an artwork. As it turned out, I created two artworks!
I’ve been having a bit of fun putting an Ocean Blue inspired moodboard together today.
Blue is honestly one of my very favourite colours and it was hard to narrow the artworks down to just these 4 pieces as so many of my artworks feature this ‘soothing’ colour.
I shared a post a couple of weeks ago on Instagram where I mentioned that my word for this year is ‘Wonder’.
I’m constantly in a sense of awe and wonder of the natural world surrounding me. But this year I also want to let go into the childlike wonder of my imagination. I’ll be releasing a collection of original artworks and prints throughout the year under this theme.
‘Longing for Peace’ an artwork I completed a little while ago…but it seemed appropriate to share today.
'Joy comes to us in ordinary moments. We risk missing out when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.' ~

My echinacea plant has just finished flowering. Before the petals withered, I managed to snap a few shots so I could create an artwork. I absolutely love the shape of the flower heads and the way the petals fall…they were practically begging to be painted.
SO here’s some snapshots of my process!
Some people will be literally running out of lockdown, embracing freedom with arms wide open…but as I was creating this artwork yesterday … I was sensing… for me… it will be a gradual emergence from my creative cocoon.
