I am so grateful to Latrobe City Council and Gippsland Cardiology Service for believing in the healing power of art and nature.

This mural shows two special Australian plants: Kangaroo Paw and Banksia.
What makes them amazing is that they are born from the smoke and fire of the bush.

After fierce bushfires or freezing winters, these plants do not just survive, they come back stronger than before.

The heat of the fire opens the Banksia’s cones to release its seeds, while the chemical power of the smoke awakens the Kangaroo Paw seeds buried in the soil.

They show us that new life can begin, even in the hardest moments.

I chose these flowers for the Gippsland Cardiology Service because I see them as a symbol of the courage and recovery found inside this centre.

Thank you again to Latrobe City Council and Gippsland Cardiology Service for letting me share this story.

These flowers are proof that in nature, blossoming is possible even after the hardest times.

An early look at how this wall will transform with colours, movement and mood 🌀

An article about the mural I painted in Holloways Beach, Cairns, has just been published in Cairns Local News! 📰🎨
So grateful to see this piece of art and the story behind it shared with the community.

Sold Cassowaries are amazing, ancient birds that have been around for millions of years. Despite their prehistoric roots, cassowaries are still around today 💙 Seeing one of them has been TRULY a special experience. What made it even more amazing was seeing a male cassowary with his chick. Unlike most animals, it’s the dad who takes care of the babies. He sits on the eggs, and once they hatch, he looks after them for up to 18 months. ~Acrylics on paper . . . . #cassowary #cassowarypainting #cassowaryportrait #painting #animalportrait #acryliconpaper
