Kookaburra Jug

Kookaburra Jug is a vibrant still life filled with native elements.

A blue striped vase and a kookaburra decorated jug hold bouquets of waratah, billy buttons, bottlebrush, wattle and flowering gums.

The jug contains its own scene of a perched kookaburra against a stylized landscape and is secondary to the overall still life image.

Using a vibrant palette of rich watercolour washes, black pen and ink linework overlays and connects the elements within the image to emphasize the luminosity of the watercolour and makes for a stained glass effect.

Her art practice encompasses printmaking and painting with a focus on linocut and watercolour. Nature is a constant throughout her work with native flowers and birds as subjects and motifs.

Art Nouveau and stained glass work have been an enduring inspiration and are echoed throughout her pieces. Juxtaposing flat ink against textural and tonal watercolour washes create a tactility in her still life and botanical pieces.
