Midnight Oil House

There is something so magical about the Australian landscape and this particular area in South Australia is no exception. Located just outside of the quirky township of Burra is the now famous, 'Midnight Oil House'. This quaint cottage was first shot by famous photographer, Ken Duncan and now it's an iconic tourist attraction for people like me.
I'm amazed by the transition of colour and movement on what was a warm spring day. The fields around the ruin had just been farmed and the hills were radiating a golden glow of delight. Colour and line is the emphasis to this particular piece as it oozes different shades of what is a dry landscape. Simple yet captivating, the Midnight Oil House stands proudly and would make a great present to those who are Midnight Oil fans or who love the simplicity of nature in regional Australia like I do. I hope you like and thankyou for looking xx

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
