Description: Prints from my original pastel illustration on paper. I love watching chickens in their posse, pecking and scratching in grass and soil and fluffing their feathers. I used beautiful creamy pastels in a moody blue-grey spectrum for this chook. The pastels were given to me by a loved one and were favourites.

Description: Prints from my original pastel drawing on paper. Abstract, but suggestive of an eye or a spinning storm, especially given the moody blue tones.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic paint doodle on paper. This puss looks spooked, perhaps frazzled, or maybe they’ve just seen a cucumber.

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 drawing on paper. This reminds me of a cat’s quiet presence, moving silently through the sunlight and shadows, almost invisible.

Description: This series of monochromatic prints (I-VIII) is derived from original acrylic paintings on paper. The forms are abstract, yet reminiscent of carefully placed smooth stones in a stack (or cairn). These were created in a time of mindfulness.

Description: Prints from my original charcoal charcoal cartoon on paper. I can picture this little character plodding around a nursery frieze to the tune of ‘The Baby Elephant Walk’ (written by Henry Mancini circa 1962 for ‘Hatari’ the movie).

Description: Prints from my original acrylic paintings on paper (I/IV). Sad stick girl has an attentive friend in her black Cat. Sometimes it feels Cat is her only friend in the world.

Description: Prints from my original permanent marker doodle on paper. How would you caption this one? What is our subject thinking? Do you think she’s looking at you, or in a mirror?

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. Sadly, the human hasn't heard the pleas of our hangry kitty and puss is without the means to find or use a tin-opener. Have you ever felt this way: so close, yet so far from your goal?

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. This kitty is hungry, not yet hangry, but wait...there's more (see II-V). Any of us who has ever had a food-driven furry friend knows that a call for nourishment is ignored at peril (yours).

Description: Prints from my original oil painting on paper. This painting was created after I made a sculpture, similar to the form depicted, for a school art project studying negative space, and Henry Moore sculpture.

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, prophase I, meiosis). Romantic, right?

Description: Prints derived from my original oil pastel drawing. This bright, bold little fish swims in a dreamy, cornflour blue sea, leaving beautiful bubbles and swirls in their wake. Inspired by a joy tied to the ocean and its creatures.

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: This lonesome slender fish actually does have friends...in fish they haven’t met yet (see Skinny Fish II-IV).

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 acrylic paintings on paper (I-IV). Stick girl is sad, and finds joy evaporates from things she usually loves, like the blooms that wilt in her hands.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. A long time ago, a friend commented that this reminded her of Alberto Giacometti’s (1901-1966) sculptural work. Having only done a skerrick of art history in high school, I was a little ashamed to admit that I hadn't heard of him, and had to look him up.

Description: Prints from my original acrylic painting on paper. I went through a phase of repeatedly painting these simplified little bird shapes, and sculpting smooth, rotund birds from white clay, just large enough to hold in your hand.
