Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on canvas. Abstract but conjures up visions of a campfire or of crushed red velvet like a rippling theatre curtain catching the spotlight as it is drawn.

Description: Prints from my original abstract acrylic painting on canvas. Abstract but reminiscent of shoots emerging from seeds.

Description: Prints from my abstract original acrylic painting on board. Fiery sunset hues blaze through a bunch of spindly delicate blue blooms.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting (flow/pour technique) on board. I’ve only tried this technique twice for kicks and whilst messy, it was fun to see how the colours mixed and moved.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on canvas. This abstract suggests a warm woven nest.

Description: Prints from my original oil pastel drawing on paper. This is an archival drawing, from a time when I found daydreaming quite easy. With time, my daydreams have almost disappeared. When was the last time you daydreamed?

Description: Prints from my original abstract oil pastel drawing on paper. I love looking at all kinds of different maps but I wouldn’t like to have to try to follow this one!

Description: Prints from my original pastel illustration on paper. I used some beautiful blue pastels given to me by a loved one, from Toulouse, France, for this drawing. This is a fanciful representation of these majestic multipurpose eucalypts (E.tereticornis).

Description: Prints from my original oil pastel drawing on paper. Listening, and respecting what someone is saying, and being able to say to them “I hear you. I see you” -that is what I see in the expression on this face.

Description: Prints from my original abstract acrylic painting on paper. Inspired by learning about cell division during biology and medical school. These whimsical bundles of DNA are chilling out in telophase (end stage of cell division).

Description: Prints from my original abstract acrylic painting on paper. Inspired by learning about cell division during biology and medical school. These crazy chromosomes are reminiscent of an homologous pair about to kiss and share genetic info (chiasma, prophaseI, meiosis). Romantic, right?

Description: Prints from my original acrylic stylised painting on paper. Strike a pose/fake it till you make it/strut your stuff/get up-dress up-show up. What’s your mantra for confidence-building?

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. This abstract draws upon a mesmerising array of wavy sand ridges and troughs formed by the ocean at a certain creek mouth, that to me, is a natural treasure.

Description: Prints from my original watercolour painting on paper. This work was initially abstract but grew into a representation of a fiery landscape. In Australia, bushfire season is a harsh reality that we need to prepare for and manage.

Description: Prints from my original oil pastel sketch on paper. The uppermost figure has their back to the foreground figure, and is shielding or protecting, arms outstretched, as the other crouches in a protective posture.

Description: Prints from my original pastel illustration on paper. I used some beautiful blue pastels given to me by a loved one, from Toulouse, France, for this kitty-in-the-window. Cats love a good vantage point, don’t they?

Description: Prints from my original abstract acrylic painting on canvas. These blue ovoid shapes remind me of cells, with nuclei and cytoplasm, or of fried eggs. What do you see?

Description: Prints from my original watercolour abstract painting on paper. I once lived where the sunsets were extraordinary. I would be repeatedly dazzled by the unreal spectrum and intensity of colours, even more striking after a storm (and we used to get plenty of those).

Description: Prints from my original abstract oil pastel drawing on paper. A couple in an embrace? Everyone will see something different in this group of shapes, just as we see different things from each other when looking for forms in the clouds.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on canvas. This fantastical fish draws upon a childhood when many holidays involved the beach, swimming, fishing and boating. I have a deep respect for, and an enduring fascination with the ocean.

Description: Prints from my original pastel drawing on paper. It is abstract, but is suggestive of chain links, rope or perhaps a part of a broken fishing net. Grey and blue tones impart a beachy, coastal feel. I used beautiful creamy pastels in a moody blue-grey spectrum for this drawing, from Toulouse, France.

Description: Prints from my original charcoal drawing on paper. Broody and blue. If you, or someone you know needs support relating to mental health, please reach out to friends, family, or your doctor.

Description: Prints from my original oil pastel drawing on paper. A table with loved ones, in the sunshine, sharing food, drink, conversation and laughter - one of the simple, cherished pleasures of life.

Description: Prints from my original oilpastel drawing on paper. My family’s garden grew a few different heliconias. I love the lush, strappy foliage as much as the striking flower heads. These make such bold and beautiful cut arrangements.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic paintings on paper (IV/IV). Stick girl still feels sad but the sun has come out, she can see a rainbow and she has come back to her friends who have always been there to hold her hand.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. I adore these wonderful feathered creatures in all their incarnations, with their antics and all their tweeting, whistling, chittering and squawking. Which birds flutter their way into your heart?

Description: Prints from my original pastel drawing on paper. Abstract, but reminds me of tangled octopus tentacles with suckers facing up out of the page…but could also be a coiled mess of thick rope from a boat, on the sea floor. What do you see? I used blue/grey creamy pastels (a gift from a loved one, from Toulouse).

Description: Prints from my original pastel drawing on paper. What do you make of this? I see water spiralling downward, or a deep cavern.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic paintings (I-IX) on canvas. Together these nine square paintings form a face, but individually are expressive in their own right. Ever notice fleeting facial expressions and wonder what lies beneath?

Description: Prints from my original pencil doodle on paper. This poor kitty looks like they need a catnap (and maybe a hug, but with cats, you never can be certain..)
