Wren and Wattle Jug

A still life of a jug adorned with wrens and wattle flowers filled with bottlebrush, banksia, gumnuts and hakea.

Painted in an art nouveau style with sweeping organic lines and stylized subject matter. The jug retains areas of uncoloured white paper giving the painting a beautiful light.

Washes of loose watercolours are held together by a framework of delicate ink linework which gives a stained glass effect.
 

• Artists quality watercolours and ink

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.
