Artwork Description

This is the quintessential Melbourne life for those who are familiar with the dramas of the Montague St Bridge.
I was visiting my hometown and noticed an incident on the news bulletin. With permission from the channel 9 news team, I recreated the scene, interpreting my use of colour and line of a small truck stuck under the Montague St Bridge, something Melburnians are all too familiar with. I did edit the truck company's name out and used my art name to amuse myself!!
I love Melbourne and everything this town offers including low bridges! It exudes an eclectic, grungy feel of everyday inner suburb living with unexpected obstacles that have stood the test of time.
Ideally suited to a trucking company, business or office space. Or simply for those who love Melbourne.
I would recommend framing to complete the look.
Thankyou for looking x
PS- a "staff pick" from the Bluethumb team.

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
