This is a commission painting of Melbourne's most treasured icon, the vinegar skipping girl or better known as Little Audrey. The customers are avid art collectors so they wanted something big, bright, cheerful, and very Melbourne. As they are moving interstate for work reasons, the vinegar skipping girl in the inner city suburb of Abbotsford was the perfect choice! The harsh lockdowns had a profound impact on the collectors yet they were mesmerised by the simple joy Audrey displayed atop 651 Victoria St and as she's an icon of this city, it was the perfect choice to bring her to life through my art. Audrey illuminated herself every night and skipped her way through the dark times and I'm sure my collectors are proud to have this hanging in their home, reminiscing of their time in Melbourne and hopefully a focal point of conversation 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
