Lots of projects on the go at the moment ☺️ but unfortunately most of them I can’t share for a little while yet. So I thought it might be time to show a bit of a work in progress - this gigantic oil painting commission ✨

Sometimes it’s nice to revisit older work and appreciate what you were able to learn through it. When I painted this artwork back in 2019, I was creating it for a calendar that’s theme was SE QLD plants. I used the GroNATIVE app to get to know more about the plants in my local area, and in what season they were in flower.

I know I’m a bit late, but happy July! 🌱 here are some snippets of what’s been going on 🗓🖌📚

Wattle! 💛 Found some glorious wattle on our last day of lockdown walkies 🌱 very grateful to have such beautiful places close to home 💛 wattle is hands down one of my favourite of plants to paint 🎨

Very excited to be moving to the watercolour phase of illustrating ‘Natropolis’ (by Deborah Frenkel) for @storytorchpress 📖 this is a little snippet sneak peek of the cover artwork ☺️ Head to Story Torch Press to read a bit more about the title! 🌱

Very excited to have all the artwork for the 2022 calendar completed and scanned ✨ now it comes to the boring part of creating the print file and adding in all the dates and public holidays 😅 I’m no graphic designer so this part is always the most tedious!

Things have been a bit hectic bananas the past week or so 🍌 and I feel like I’ve fallen off the social media train. It’s a funny thing when part of your ‘job’ is to be posting art constantly. Honestly it can be exhausting, because creating artwork is a very slow process, and I feel like I can’t keep up with how fast paced Instagram has become. Any other creatives relate? 😂

Thank you for a lovely winter market @theempireplantsback 💛 had a wonderful sunny (but cold haha) day, and it was a pleasure to meet lots of new faces! Thank you if you popped by to say hi 👋

✨ Meet the Maker ✨
