A new collection of mixed media paintings inspired by outback desert landscapes seen from the air, the scattering of vegetation is a combination of paint and embroidery. 

The Australian outback is a rich tapestry of changing colours and patterns. Tiny dots of vegetation, wild flowers and shrubs, come and go or alter in shade with the seasons.

 

Ideal Homes recently published their selection of  home decor trends for 2020. One of my favourites was 'Global Essence' as it matches in so beautifully with my current colour palette. Rich tones and rugged textures, earthy natural pigments mixed with lots of pattern and prints. The key colours - terracotta, umber and spiced red. Pictured above a selection of paints from Dulux.

 

 

 

I'm so excited to release my latest illustrations. At the start of the year I set myself a goal to finish off an Aussie animal nursery art set before Australia Day and they're here! A cute koala, cuddly wombat, cool kangaroo and cheeky possum. Also available as a set of three or individually. And just because illustrating wombats was so much fun (and because 90% of the time I've seen them in real life they are on their backs lounging around) I have a cute new lazy wombat print too.

 

 

 

Pantone has announced their pick for Colour of the Year for 2019 and it's beautiful living coral. There are so many great ways to incorporate this into a wedding next year, naturally a beach wedding would be perfect. Here are a few 'i do' it yourself stationery ideas.
