January 2021

Happy New Year! Below is a collection of all the artworks I can finally share from the last few months. Being gifts, I had to keep all of these secret as to not ruin the surprise. But I am so happy now to be able to show them off!

STUDIO BEHIND THE SCENES! I've been playing around with designing a work space that is functional and aesthetic. As much as I loved my previous antique wooden art desk, it wasn't suited to storing pastels. Here is a photo of my new art desk, featuring drawers where my pastels are sorted by colour, my new giant desk easel, and my custom made easel board with a built in 'mahl stick' - a hand rest so I can do fine detail work without smudging my artwork! (This is super exciting stuff to me so I really wanted to share it!)

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2021

My goals include:

• Offering wedding portraits, bouquet paintings and maybe even live event painting!

• Having set aside time for more original artworks

• Designing a range of Christmas Cards and merchandise featuring my wildlife artworks

• Looking into a Blue thumb or Art Lovers membership (big websites that sell amazing Australian art!)

• Entering a couple of art prizes like the Bentley Art Prize and the Border Art Prize

• Aiming to do about 1 market stall per month

• And of course continuing to offer pet portraits!

Commission prices for 2021 are:

Mini $130 Small $240
