I had a very exciting delivery this week - two new washi designs! 🌿 they’re up on my Etsy and are a part of the storewide 20% off sale (link in bio)☀️ these designs feature some of my favourite birds, including the regent Honeyeater, Galah, Black Cockatoo and Pale Headed Rosella 🦜 . . . . #washitape #papertape #stationary #illustration #australianbirds #etsy #gumblossom #galah #blackcockatoo #rosella #magpie #watercolour #watercolor

Today is Endangered Species day 🌼🐢🌱🦧 a day to learn about endangered species and ways we can help 🌱 this painting is of the regent Honeyeater - a beautiful Australian bird that is unfortunately critically endangered. I’ve read there are multiple advantages to making efforts to conserve this bird,as it will have a positive flow on effect to other animals and plants that share its habitat 🌳 if you’d like to learn a bit more about some of the endangered animals we have in Australia, I’ve been releasing fortnightly videos on my IGTV where I paint and talk a little about what I’ve learnt 🦋 or if you want more expert information (as I’m only an artist!) there’s great resources on the @wwf_australia 🐛 happy learning! . . . . . #endangeredspecies #endangeredspeciesday #regenthoneyeater @regenthoneyeaterproject #muggaironbark #gumblossom #watercolor #watercolorpainting #processart #watercolour #speedpaint #australianbirds #nativeflora #eucalyptus #brisbaneart #painting #illustration

I’ve been working on this commission for a while now - it’s the biggest oil painting I’ve taken on and yeesh it’s been a learning curve understanding how to approach something so big! But I’m so grateful as I now feel more confident going forward with larger paintings 🙃 It’s almost all finished now and I can’t wait to show you it done and dusted 💚 for now here is a work in progress snippet 🌱 . . . . #oilpainting #brisbane #jacaranda #palms #painting #bigpainting #magpie #garden #studio #commission

‘Fragment’, oil on board, 2020 ✨ Do you ever finish a painting and have to let it sit for a while before you feel it’s done? It took me a month with this painting, but I think I’m finally content with it 🌱 ☺️ . . . . . #oilpainting #painting #contemporarypainting #brisbaneart #tasmania #landscapepainting #contemporarylandscapepainting #naturepainting #artist

I’ve been feeling in a bit of a creative block these past couple weeks, I’ve actually not had much experience with creative block before as usually I am so pumped to paint and have 1000 ideas waiting to happen - so I’m trying some different methods to get inspired again 🌱 so far I’ve been really enjoying listening to @thejealouscurator podcast - instead of feeling inadequate when looking at other people’s work, it’s helped me to see it as inspiration and to take notice of what I love in other people’s art ✨ the second is looking at some of my older work, especially that done during university when we were really challenged to think critically and pushed our comfort zone 🦆 the third is taking a bit more time to write ideas down, giving my brain some time to think things through and not expect a break through with every painting 🖼 I think being kind and patient with ourselves is the main thing right now, I’m feeling the creativity creep back in but I’d still love any tips for how to get those creative juices flowing again! 🙃 . . . . #painting #oilpainting #cockatoo #womenofillustration #creativeblock #scrubturkey #brisbaneart #art #creativity #mtcoothabotanicalgardens

Some bright and sunny card packs I’ve just popped on Etsy☀️ it’s always an absolute joy to pack your orders, it is genuinely one of my favourite things to do! I love wrapping them up safe to go, I love writing thank you and love going to the post office - my local post office are so lovely, I always get a friendly wave while I’m waiting in the line from the posties bless them 💚(ps. There’s also some mothers days sets on there if your mum is a bird lover like me! 🦜🙃) link is in the bio . . . . #magpies #greetingcards #mothersday #recycledpaper #australianflora #illustrator #gumblossom #gumnut #painting #watercolour #etsy @auspost @illustratorsaus

Another happy botanic gardens flash back 🌱 I really hope that everyone’s still being able to engage with nature in some capacity at the moment, I always forget how good it makes me feel to look out the window and watch birds or go on a little walk and get chased by a duck defending it’s babies (this happened yesterday, I never thought I’d be genuinely afraid of a duck 🦆 but this dude ran at me at a speed I did not know ducks were capable of) . . . . . #botanicgardens #naturetime #mtcoottha #brisbaneartist #painting #watercolour #illustrator #gardens #proteaflower

Happy Easter! 🌱 I hope everyone is staying safe and well 💚 . . . . #bilby #easterbilby #happyeaster #watercolour #watercolor #illustration #painting #australiananimals #endangeredanimals

I gotta say it’s been real heartwarming to see the increase in people purchasing cards lately to send to their loved ones, I feel very lucky to still be able to keep in touch with friends and family even if it’s from afar 💚 on a side note, my mum recently gave me her old stamp collection book - take a look at some of these old beauties ⬅️ (I’m also feeling very grateful to our amazing posties who are keeping things going in this crazy time 🙌) . . . . #watercolour #greetingcards #recycledpaper #oldstamps #posties❤️ #illustration #romastreet #watercolor #naturepainting
