Sunrise Balloons Over Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

Acrylic, 25.6in (W) x 25.6in (H)

$3,020

A luminous autumn sunrise in a familiar Canberra park, with Black Mountain and Telstra Tower rising softly in the distance. Golden-orange poplar trees still hold onto their last leaves, while nearby trees have already let go, revealing the fascinating skeleton of bare branches. Mist drifts low over the ground, kangaroos move through the grass, and above them hot air balloons float across the early sky — a gentle reference to the beloved balloon festival that fills Canberra mornings each March.

This original painting captures a brief and magical moment before the busy day begins. The lingering moon, the soft mist, the glowing trees, and the drifting balloons bring together the beauty of season, place, and memory in a way that feels deeply Canberra. Painted in professional acrylic on a 46 x 36 cm gallery-stretched thick edge canvas, this work is rich with atmosphere, colour, and a strong sense of local identity.

This original painting captures one of those brief, magical moments when the world feels still before the busyness starts. The cool mist, glowing trees, open grass, and wildlife create a scene that feels deeply local and unmistakably Canberra.

Painted in professional acrylic on a 46 x 36 cm gallery-stretched thick edge canvas, this work is full of atmosphere, colour, and a strong sense of place. A beautiful piece for collectors of Australian landscapes, Canberra scenes, and contemporary impressionist art.

March Morning Balloons at Black Mountain, Canberra

Acrylic, 18.1in (W) x 14.2in (H)

$1,270

Golden hour in a Canberra park—lush green grass, wildflowers, and kangaroos beneath Black Mountain and the Telstra Tower as summer tips into autumn.

Painted at the edge of seasons—when late summer still lingers, but autumn begins to announce itself. After weeks of rain the park turns intensely green, wildflowers scatter through the tall grass, and kangaroos appear at dusk to feed in the fresh growth.

A warm path draws the eye into a stand of eucalyptus, with Black Mountain and the Telstra Tower rising in the distance. The light is that brief golden-hour glow that makes everything feel softened and alive—quiet, local, and unmistakably Canberra.

Created as part of my Autumn Series 2026, this original work is painted in professional acrylics on a gallery-wrapped, thick-edge canvas (ideal to hang as-is or frame if you prefer).

Between Summer and Autumn (Balloon Season) – Black Mountain, Canberra

Acrylic, 18.1in (W) x 14.2in (H)

$1,260

Created for my second solo exhibition at the National Arboretum Canberra, this large acrylic painting is a contemporary impressionist “story quilt” of place, memory and resilience.

A patchwork of colour and pattern sits like a map of the Arboretum’s forests, with native birdlife moving through open sky and sweeping air. Along the lower edge, fire and dark silhouettes acknowledge the bushfire reality that has shaped our landscape — while the vivid greens and light speak to renewal and the strength of community.

There is also a hand-painted quote nestled into the hillside, inviting a quieter, reflective reading of the work.

“Story of the National Arboretum Canberra” is a bold statement piece for a large wall (home, office or public space) and a meaningful artwork for anyone with a connection to Canberra and the Arboretum.

Acrylic on canvas, one-of-a-kind, signed, and ready to hang.
