Do Dunnarts Eat Donuts? 2017

The sister image to my Are Antechinus Anti Cheesecake is Do Dunnarts Eat Donuts? It was fun pairing our mini marsupials with naughty cake treats. I can honestly say that no cute little natives were forced to eat cake in the making of these paintings… although the artist may have indulged… purely for reference reasons… […]

Are Antechinus Anti Cheesecake? 2017

Dubbed “Rat with Cheese” by my partner who was horrified that I would consider putting this painting in a cafe for my Outside In exhibition at Artisan on Lewis. It goes against every public health warning having a painting of a rat with cheese in a cafe was his argument. To me it was a […]

Who’s a Pretty Birdie? 2017

It was hard to decide which pretty teacups would show off his gorgeous colours the best and therefore would attract him as a desirable perch. Was part of my Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition at Michael Reid […]
