Haigh There!

This Hyper realistic drawing is the fourth of a series of drawings based on the idea of ‘looks good enough to eat’.

Styled and photographed to demonstrate the movement of behaviour of foil when crumpled and creased. The chocolate bitten and peeking out of the foil offers a contrast of light and dark.

One of my most memorable birthday gifts was when I received a Haigh’s gold foil chocolate frog for my 14th birthday from a dear friend. It was the first time that I had truly appreciated Haigh’s chocolate. The large Haigh’s chocolate frog has long been a favourite birthday gift to give and receive. It will forever be reminder to me of friendship, love and the joy of gift giving.

On 300 GSM archival quality paper (A2 size) using Faber Castell polychromos pencils.

This piece can be displayed either landscape or portrait as pictured. If purchasing please advise which way you intend on on displaying the artwork so I can sign it accordingly.

I am an Adelaide-based emerging contemporary artist, working across both hyperrealism and contemporary abstract styles. My practice explores the spectrum between precision and freedom drawing on my early foundation in detailed realism, while now embracing bold colour, layered texture, and expressive abstraction.

From a young age I was immersed in the visual arts, receiving recognition through youth council prizes, competitions, and subject awards during my studies. After stepping away from art when my career path turned towards structure and order in 2015, I have since reconnected with my creative voice, rediscovering the joy of colour, movement, and self-expression.

Since reigniting my love of art, I have been a semifinalist in the 2020 Tony White Memorial Art Prize. My contemporary abstract works are vibrant, intuitive, and filled with energy, celebrating colour as both emotion and memory.

I am available for commissions and welcome any enquiries about works you may have in mind.
