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 […]

Originally this painting was to be called Lace on Lace thinking that the model for my painting was a cute little baby lace monitor. After a bit of research I discovered that that we have two types of goanna sharing our property… the lace monitor and a sand goanna and unfortunately I was painting a […]

Hipsy the French French Bulldog 2017
This is one of my favourite commissions. This is Hipsy the French French bulldog.

Thank you so much Frank the dachshund (and his human Meg) for being Hipsy’s […]
Who’s a Pretty Birdie? 2017
Male red rumped parrots are such beautiful brightly coloured birds, whereas their lady friends are quite dull in comparison. 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 […]
