Cattle Country
Our country, this 'Great South Land', is a place of rough beauty. Australian farms are the backbone of this land, working the land through long droughts and harsh conditions to support our people. Farmers, out of all Australians, are the ones who truely know what it is to rely on the provision of their Creator, to bring rain at just the right time, to sustain them through the periods in-between, and to lean on when disasters come upon this beautiful albeit broken land. This collection is a celebration of those that form the foundation of our country, their beloved furry workmates, and the stunning creatures for which this land is known. This is 'Cattle Country'.

Each piece has it's own unique story, adding a depth beyond the outward beauty each landscape portrays.

It is a celebration of the colours of this diverse region, giving praise to the Master Artist who creates every sunset and windswept cloud pattern each and every day across this stunning city.

Sunshine of the Shoreline
Queensland is known belovedly as the 'Sunshine State' for a reason. Situated along the coastline of Australia, this beautiful place in which I call home boasts stunning, bright blue skies and pristine, sandy beaches stretching for kilometres, bathed in the blissful warmth of the Australian sunlight. It's ocean reflects deeply the blues of the sky, rays of sunshine dancing off it's crystal surface. This collection celebrates the beauty of the Queensland coastline, with each piece capturing a special place to so many families who travel for hours each year to return to these places which hold so many memories. The bold colours and use of the pallet knife create movement in each piece that signifies the life in these places. The coastline never sleeps - it is bursting with life in every moment, with the waves washing softly against the shoreline, crabs scuttling across the sand in the moonlight, and seagulls calling as they soar the skies in the sunshine. This collection celebrates the beauty of the land we have been given to rest in, as the One who cares for us sustains the life bursting forth from these beautiful places He has given us to enjoy.

This collection, Treasures of the Great South Land, celebrates the breathtaking beauty, complexity and grace of the Australian birdlife. Each piece depicts one of these spectacular creatures in the intricate detail of watercolour, highlighting the bright, bold colours that can be seen darting, flitting or gliding through the Australian sky. These birds have always held a special place in my heart, filling my heart with joy as these little creatures prompt me to dwell on the Master Artist, their Creator and mine, who designed their colours, songs, and flight pattern - all in His love, for us to enjoy and marvel at the work of His hands.
Uniquely Australia
