ART4ALL EXHIBITION - SEPTEMBER 6th

Fairfield Art Show is on again and I’m very happy to be a part of the show. I have 3 paintings in the exhibition which explore our common waterbirds around our local areas. We see them often so they become so familiar that we forget to wonder at their uniqueness and beauty. So here’s to them, may they continue to move gracefully in the peacefulness of our suburban bushy swamp settings.

Opening hours:
Fri. 6 Sep: 6pm-9pm
Sat. 7 Sep: 10am-2pm and 7pm-11pm
Sun. 8 Sep: 10am-2pm

A group of little bilbies are hunting for decorations to turn their Australian bush home into a magical Christmas wonderland. Join them on their adventure and meet some friendly Australian animals along the way.

My studio

My lovely little studio which I converted myself, with my studio pooch Lucy who gives wonderful critiques

Isolation at Home - Covid outbreak

Me along with most other people are working from home, it’s a really tough and scary time for everyone - I’m trying to make the best of a bad situation by drawing and illustrating. Take care everyone!! Australian native animals cannot carry Covid 19 virus, this is a little endangered numbat - ‘protect others as well as yourself’

NEW BOOK

I am really excited to announce that I have a new book coming out in February 2020 published by Hachette Australia and written by the wonderfully talented author and illustrator Yvonne Mes. It’s a gorgeous story about baby bilbies on an Easter Hunt for easter eggs and on the way they come across eggs from other Australian animals. It was a joy to illustrate, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it.

Thank you to Yvonne for a wonderful story and to Hachette, especially the lovely editors who were amazing to work with.

You can purchase this board book (1-4 yr old) pretty much everywhere after February, but don’t forget your local bookshops!
