Forever Flowers

Sunset Pour

Lose yourself in a fragrant field of lavender under the glow of the setting sun. I love how versatile lavender is - beautiful in a vase, as a tea or in a warm bath. The delicate scent and luscious colours are a reminder to take a pause when you need it.

Sunset Serenade

This is another piece inspired by my daughter Amy's great eye for a good photo. She took this photo of the most delightful blue and lime blossoms while we were on a weekend break in the beautiful country town of Picton, New South Wales. My daughter enjoys being my mini 'muse', and I love her creative eye and love of nature.

Budding Blues

I was lucky enough to stay on the banks of the Zambezi River in Zambia some years ago - literally metres from the Victorian Falls - where elephants, hippos and crocodiles frolic in the river while monkeys and giraffes roam the riverbank. This painting in soft pinks and dreamy purples brings to life the serenity and majesty of the Zambezi at sunset.

River View

Dive into Bondi's coastline! Feel the rhythm of the waves as they dance on the canvas, each brushstroke an invite to immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the ocean.

Ocean Calm

For many years my daily commute would take me across the Harbour Bridge. I would get a glimpse of iconic Opera House every day and pinch myself about how lucky I was. This painting of the Opera House, bathed in soft shimmering sunset tones, captures my gratitude to live in such a gorgeous and glittering city.

Dusk Melody

I love surrealism and how concepts are juxtaposed by the artist. This piece has a dreamlike quality to it and combines modern and classic elements. The Roman bust guarding an empty room under a huge pale moon simultaneously evokes a sense of mystery and safety.

Echoes of Antiquity

In Spring, the hills and meadows on the road-trip from Sydney to the South Coast of New South Wales transform into a lush canopy of canary-yellow canola blossoms - truly a breathtaking sight.

Golden Meadows

This Vervet Monkey and his family were regular visitors while I was vacationing at a resort bordering the Pilanesburg Nature Reserve in South Africa awhile ago. Vervet Monkeys are incredibly cute and curious creatures, and cunning food thieves.

Vervet's Reflection

My daughter photographed this delightful flowering bougainvillea tree on a walk in Centennial Park on a crisp Spring morning. It was a joy to paint the pretty pink blossoms in full bloom. I hope this piece brings you joy too!

Pretty in Pink

During COVID, my family and I were lucky to escape to Port Douglas for a quick getaway before the borders between NSW and Queensland were closed. We stayed in a quiet gated community with gorgeous gardens, and enjoyed wonderful family time together. 'Pondering' represents my gratitude for my family and the joy of nature's simple pleasures.

Pondering

Each day, a beautiful rainbow streams into my kitchen window with the morning sun as I make my coffee and think about the day ahead. I was inspired to paint this side profile of a woman, in a moment of mediation, in a rainbow pattern made up of serene greens and fiery reds. To me, rainbows always represent hope and happy times.
