Artwork Description

"Were you at ruined Ypres? I was there too. At stricken Mihiel? I was opposite you. I was there at Dixmuide, surrounded by floods, at hellish Verdum, in the smoke and the crowds, freezing, demoralised, in the snow" My "Guardians of the Gate" is a painting of men who never came home, of men who saw too much, of men who changed physically and mentally for the worse, and of men who never grew old, yet they who were left grew old. The frame is secondhand, repurposed to reflect the occasion in the painting. Suitable for those who have a great love and devotion to Australia's involvement in the Great War. Thankyou for looking.

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
