Gum Nuts on 60's Boucle – Eucalyptus Walking

As part of my art practice I like to collect things on my travels.
This may be whilst hiking in our local forests, finding an interesting piece on the side of the road or rifling through shelves at a thrift shop.
Things that catch my eye, vintage and new combine to create a vignette ready to paint onto canvas.
They are a little reminder, a souvenir if you like, of my path through life.
Appreciating the beauty around me and taking a little bit home with me.
In this painting the gum nuts carefully collected on my hike via Silvan and carefully placed in my backpack for the long walk back up the hill to home.
Placed on top of a long meterage of original 60's Boucle fabric

Alicia Cornwell is a Melbourne-based artist working from her home studio in Olinda, Victoria — a 100-year-old house nestled among the historic gardens and lush landscapes of the Dandenong Ranges. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art in Printmaking and Painting (Caulfield Institute of Technology – Monash University, 1985) and a Graduate Diploma in Art Education (Victoria College, Burwood, 1987).

Specialising in contemporary still life, Alicia works primarily in oils. Her compositions are a graceful fusion of natural elements and vintage design — a reflection of her many years in the antiques and interiors industry. Her paintings range from bold and vibrant to soft and pastel-toned, always with a focus on structure, layered glazes, and fine detail.

Deeply inspired by the changing seasons and the surrounding national parks, Alicia’s work captures both the serenity and richness of her environment. Her art has been exhibited and collected across Australia and internationally, and she is proudly represented by a number of galleries nationwide.
