Artwork Description

This is a depiction of my hometown, Melbourne during the original 2020 lockdown when the world fell silent. It was a sunny morning, the leaves were just starting to turn and we all thought covid was short term! Eighteen months on and this beautiful city is still locked down with little joy and what feels like no hope. Since I enjoy colour and line, I felt compelled to paint my city with love, and a vision of hope and sunny days ahead. This city and its people are strong and I know the colour will come back soon. This piece comes unframed and is ready to hang in your family room or the kitchen area, even the bathroom! I hope this finds peace especially for the people of Melbourne xxx

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
