Universal Tree of Love


Acrylic on Canvas


Love is so hard to define, often euphoric yet at times with great sadness. Yet love 'we do' and strive for from deep within. Do you bring that same focus and attention to the love you give to yourself? What about that universal love with the right to love and be loved ? 

Love is not something we can see. There has been many a study that shows to thrive; love is key. Love for self and love for and from others. 

So the tree grows, shedding its hearts at different times to return to its source where it lives on forever, replenishing the soil for new growth and life. 

Feel the love vibrations. They are stored in your heart and soul, in your DNA.

Clearing Art Space



Water Colours

Rummaging through my office today attempting to bring some order to my art space, I came across these four watercolour paintings I did a few years ago. I love the flow and unpredictability they bring; the light and shade that naturally occurs even when your not trying.

Top Left: A Queenslander home                             Top Right: Landscape (Friends Forever)
Bottom Left: Sturt Desert Rose                               Bottom Left: Ride the Wave

I find it interesting how I like different mediums at different stages in my life. Maybe times when I need to trust and go with the flow (water colour), when I need to be bold and strong (acrylic on canvas), to be contained and delicate (card making) and push through the resistance  (clay).

So with analogy in mind, I guess I'm being bold and strong whilst balancing with contained and delicate gently flowing between.

Rest Awhile


Rest Awhile
Acrylic on Canvas
(255 mm x 255 mm)

The sea, the shore beckons.  Be still, rest and enjoy the sun's warmth on your face, whilst salty air kisses your skin.  Sand between your toes as each grain massages your feet. Tide comes and goes forever changing. Always the same, always different. Such a paradox.

A place of peace, where one can get lost in the vista. So much to see no matter the weather. Enjoy, rest awhile. Embrace natures gift that surrounds you.

Autumn Beauty - SOLD



Autumn Beauty
230 mm x 230 mm
Acrylic on Canvas

Autumn brings the rich reds and golds, as many plants start to turn inward. Yet there are those that excel in the cooler months shining through in all their glory.

What season do you identify with? Where are you in your element, thriving and blooming? I know I love this time of year to get out and about relaxing in the fresh air.
