Stuck inside for the cyclone here in Brisbane! What a great excuse for some painting 😚

This is a page of my sketch book, so just a chill experiment with colour and shapes.

I finished one of the paintings from the latest mini collection I've been working on inspired by my time in Brisbane.

This one is called
~ Banyan ~
And is inspired by the reaching roots and regal vibes of the Banyan Fig tree.

Some ~Work in Progress~ pictures of the current paintings I am working on. These paintings have been inspired by the world I have encountered in Brisbane, including the majestic Australian White Ibis or 'Bin chicken'.

I've been painting again ☺️ We found a piece of high quality paper left behind in our new flat, so I thought I may as well put it to good use!

If any one is interested in purchasing or commissioning anything, flick me a message 💛

Hello hello, here is a little look into the latest things I've been sketching 🎉

Life wise - Tim and I have been officially living in Brisbane for just over a month now and have been starting to settle in! It's been exciting exploring a new place and there has been lots of creative inspiration around. Per usual I have been creating like crazy and not posting a thing :3

1- sketches of flora and fauna found around Brisbane!
2- watercolour paintings. On the left a painting of a church down the road from our home and on the right a painting of the cute reading corner inside our home.
3- sketches of iris van herpen fashion designs from the Brisbane museum. Amazing insane shapes!

Hi friends 👋 Tim and I are moving to Brisbane next Monday - it’s really snuck up! I need to get rid of / store a bunch of cute lil artsy bits and pieces. My paintings would love a home and a wall to hang on!

Looking to sell these bits - message me if you are interested. If you see a painting you really like but don’t have the dollars, we can discuss you looking after the painting for me for no cost 💖

1 - dusty yellow painting - technically unfinished! $50
2 - Painting with sun and pink central circle $100
3 - tiny home woven basket, size of 1 egg or small porcini. Free to good home, just come and collect.
4 - painting with big birdie $100
5 - home woven basket, size of big apple. Free to good home, come and collect!
6 - painting of garden lady $100
7 - crochet bag, made from soft plastic! It’s water proof and has cute colours… tbh considering trying to fit in my suitcase 😅 $30

Roller skates are also for sale if you are a size 6 lol

All the paintings (except the yellow one) are from my exhibition at baobab last year! I sold a painting there and these ones have been waiting in my room to be re-exhibited or re-advertised. Would love for them to finally be sold and displayed somewhere 💛 otherwise they are going into a cupboard!!

I finally got round to recording a flip through my watercolour book. This book travelled across the world with me and I would spend my time in pubs and cafes drawing and painting the places I’ve been. This was such a great way to slow down and really experience and appreciate the beautiful places, even when my picture couldn’t capture the muchness of it all.

I also haven’t used watercolour paints that much before, so it was exciting to explore a new medium and see my skill with it grow as I continued to paint!

I definitely started the #patternchallengebymel at the beginning of August and couldn’t keep up 😅 But here are the ones i did get done - the prompts were #1 Twinkle, #2 Blob and #3 Float.

I haven’t made patterns before so this was really fun!!!

Here is a flick through of my latest sketchbook - with only a few pages left! So many things I draw never get finished or never get shown to anyone - they just live in this little book. Enjoy the random selection of unfinished ideas and ridiculous bits and pieces.

We took a bunch of film photos when we were celebrating having all my art up at Baobab!

Now the film has been developed and my paintings have come back home - all except one which sold! Now it is hanging out somewhere in the world :o

If anyone wants to have a look at the paintings that are still available and maybe would be interested in buying one - flick me a message ✌️

Slide to see how this painting emerged!! It’s amazing how much time and layers it takes to get a painting to work how you want it to 😅 but I was super proud of how this one came out in the end.

This one is still hanging up at Baobab if you want to see it in person ✌️

As some of you may have heard, April is a very exciting month for me as my paintings are making their first appearance out in the world!!!

It’s been a very exciting and surreal experience and trying to be brave as I put a little slice of my work out there.

If you want to view them for yourself, head along to @baobabcafe - they are hanging there all month!!

I wanted a way to mark my work as mine, so I carved up a stamp out of a scrap of wood!

I had to carve all the letters backwards 😅 a bit of a mission, but it came out so nicely!!

Painting work in progress!! Still working on this one, but loving the way it is coming together.

I love using poetry to try and put my painting concepts into words, as full sentences are never abstract enough - here is the one I have for this painting:

This lady is overgrown - Disappearing yet becoming more known.
Submerged in nature - dirty and tangled - she bears new flowers.
Raw beauty - her own.

Getting closer and closer to finishing this bad boy…

What an amazing learning experience it has been working on a few bigger pieces and, in the case of this piece, a more unusual painting dimension! It almost makes a silly sort of sense that it’s taking a long time to paint this very long painting 😅

Lil crazy weekday monster!

Working with paper to create art feels like a collaboration — you have to work together with the material to craft and create. Right now, I’m exploring and adventuring with small pieces, but already I am wondering - what would it be like to work on a larger piece of work?

I’ve been working on a collection of bigger paintings, which has recently been feeling like a big of a slog! It was so nice to take a break and paint something silly and small.

I didn't quite finish inktober, but I did finish this piece I've been working on for a while!

I'm calling it 'Getting lost in the sound' and tried to capture that feeling of being suddenly overwhelmed. This is a collage made from millions of itty bitty pieces of paper!

Day 1 of isolation ✌
Today I wore my orange crochet earrings! I have recently been making lots of fun earrings just to wear around the place and to match my outfits :3

We have a resident COVID infected person and I've suddenly found myself with lots of time of at home 🙃 So if any one would love some fruit / vege inspired crocheted earrings hit me up! I have a bit of time to kill 🤷‍♀️

Summer project with dad! I wood turned my own candle stick holders. This was out of a beautiful red wood, with some small bits of bark kept exposed around the base. It was so much fun to be using my hands in a different way to create some practical.
