Native Bouquet | Linocut Print Ed. 5 of 20

'Native Bouquet' is a celebration of some of my favourite Australian native flowers. From bold and dramatic banksias to delicate gum flowers and intricate everlasting daisies, it showcases the breathtaking diversity of Australia’s botanical wonders.

I designed this abundant, even extravagant, arrangement to showcase Australia’s rich botanical heritage. I hope this print can serve as a reminder of how blessed we are in Australia and the importance of preserving and protecting these precious natural treasures for future generations to enjoy.

This print was created using the linocut technique and black oil based ink. The edition size is 20 prints. Search Michelle McKinnon above to see more frame colours.

Framed option measures 56x70cm on the outer edge of the frame.

More work coming soon! I’m Michelle McKinnon, a South Gippsland based artist working primarily with oil paint, creating native flora still life paintings and limited edition art prints.

My practice centers on still life paintings of Australian native flora. I’m drawn to their character and quiet beauty, as well as their strong structural, almost architectural qualities. A single stem or carefully arranged grouping can hold just as much presence as a wider landscape.

I grow many native plants in my own garden, not only for their beauty but as food and shelter for local birds and insects. Spending time observing these plants — how they grow, move, and are structured — is an important part of my process. I often create my compositions from imagination and memory, using what I’ve studied and observed to sketch and develop each painting in the studio.
