‘The Secret Garden’ collection is a colourful celebration of those precious curated spaces we call gardens and all the wonderful flowers that populate them. I saw a correlation between creating a garden and my own art practice. Both bring pleasure and joy. They require hard work, patience and curiosity, plus your hands are bound to get a little dirty.
I used different types of gardens to explore new and various flowers. Take a walk through the Banksia garden, visit the Everlasting Meadow and stop by the Kitchen Garden or the Conservatory. Everything is in full bloom and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Below are the 13 original artworks from my new 'The Secret Garden' series, a botanical explosion, exploring the beauty of different kinds of gardens. If you would like to see them in person, they will all be on display in my studio during the Surf Coast Arts Trail, running on the 3 and 4 of August, 2024.
For this collection I've introduced a new kind of glassless reproduction alongside my beautiful archival limited edition prints. The difference? The new framed reproductions arrive framed in Australian oak and ready to hang. The print does not require glass to protect it, instead it is printed on a durable, artist-developed substrate. My limited edition prints are on archival quality, textured paper. They are unframed so you can pick a frame to your taste and budget.
I loved this series so much I couldn't stop at limited edition prints. I've brought back the ever-popular certified Australian made tea towels. I'm also introducing for the first time notebooks (ruled) and sketchbooks (blank) and of course, greeting cards and gift tags!
Take a look behind the scenes of my latest collection 'The Secret Garden'. Inspiration, sketches, works in progress and studio mess!
