Artwork Description

The chimney and boiler house is tucked away on the University of Adelaide grounds, opposite the Brightstar Brewing in Thebarton. This particular area was heavily industrialised back in the days where the boiler was used to make soap for soldiers during the war period. It is now a boutique area of eateries, and a relaxing vibe for those who appreciate history. The Fauldings foundry oozes colour against a river backdrop. Lines form a strong sense of urbanisation and how it played its part in the past to the present. Quirky, colourful, eclectic, and ageless is this timeless piece of Adelaide history.
Ideal in an office work space, Cafe or your home in the West Torrens area. Thankyou for looking x

Artist Bio

Hello everyone!
I have travelled far and wide with my husband's work for 20 odd years to numerous states around Australia and twice to the USA. I suppose you can call me a defence spouse, Army style!
It was during a posting to the US where I became the 'accidental artist', painting local scenes around Leavenworth County, Kansas and selling my art through word of mouth! This crazy journey has inspired me to continue my love for painting scenes throughout Australia
I feel my artwork is, by virtue, the colours I see and the lines that define them. My art is bright, bold, joyful, unique depictions of life around me through numerous journeys I've encountered in a nature loving form. I draw inspiration from female artists in Maude Lewis, Georgia O'Keefe and Heather Brown who created their own distinct styles and a belief in themselves
For me and my art style, I seek collectors who dare to venture into bright pop/ naive/ contemporary art.
I focus mainly on acrylics and black markers using small to medium size canvas or acrylic paper. Certain picture frames are repurposed and matted with love to reduce the landfill we humans love to create.
I want my artwork to be different, a little obscure, very animated, yet recognisable to admire.
I hope to bring a visual flair to those who adore creative, quirky pieces that express pure joy and an illustrative love of life around us. Your blank wall or tiny computer nook may need a dose of gladness to brighten your

Thankyou so much for reading xx
