Beautiful in May
The rain is falling, the Salvias are flowering and the garden is full of birds and bees.
“And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.

Kate’s garden is a profusion of colours, plants, dogs, chickens, weeds and love.
For the month October Kate welcomed me into this incredible garden and let me paint flowers and plants. A happy place. Thank you Kate.
katewall.com.au - Have a look at her website and the wonderful workshops she offers from her home and garden.
Flowers picked in Joy’s Garden.
Joy lives at the end of our road. I always walk past her house and see her tending her small garden. She was delighted when I offered to paint her garden for a couple of weeks. I was delighted too. It was a wonderful couple of weeks.
The studio smelt of Nasturtiums.

“I must have flowers, always, and always”
I had the wonderful opportunity this year to collaborate with Brisbane fashion designer Sarah Garrett-Hodoniczky of the fashion label RANT clothing.
Combining the artwork of selected Grevillea specimens at the gardens and digitally printing them on pure cotton, a range of comfortable summer styles have been designed by Sarah at RANT for the new range.
To view the range please go to RANT clothing website - www.rantclothing.com.au
All garments are 100% made in Brisbane.

Summer is here.
“Go to the object. Leave your subjective preoccupation with yourself. Do not impose yourself on the object. Become one with the object. Plunge deep enough into the object to see something like a hidden glimmering there.”
The Grevilleas are flowering. Painting heaven.....
