Progress. Painting and listening to interesting ta Progress. Painting and listening to interesting talks on YouTube about the brain, fast fashion and other interesting topics. I think I’ve learned that the progress we make towards a goal is more important to the balance of good chemicals in the brain than achievements. And also telling ourselves when we are in the thick of working toward something but it’s really difficult and frustrating - that this is the good stuff. This is making me grow and often we see the results from that challenge later after our brains have had a chance to rest and make those new connections. 

I look forward to finishing these but I’m also enjoying the process more, trying to foster more diligence with it, and appreciating all the super uncomfortable bits.

What the heck man… ☹️ Brand new canvas that What the heck man… ☹️

Brand new canvas that had an unfortunate stint in a moisture affected box while we moved is all mouldy. And it was wrapped in plastic! Gross. 

I remembered a video by @tenhun where he mentioned he recently learned it’s good to gesso both the front AND back of your timber canvas (maybe any canvas actually) to prevent moisture and mould affecting your art. So I’m definitely doing that from now on. 

A couple of my finished paintings had mouldy backs also. I don’t have photo or video evidence or my near mental breakdown that followed but let’s just say, it wasn’t pretty. 

The reason these boards are so wonderful to do oil paintings on is also the reason it’s wise to gesso the back. They suck yo the moisture giving me the perfect medium dry time that’s not as frustratingly fast as acrylics and not as long as oils - no mediums required. 

I like to keep it simple without using mediums and love love love the feel of oils on timber canvas. *chef’s kiss* 💋

Red Fox 🦊 30x45cm oil on timber canvas. In ot Red Fox 🦊
30x45cm oil on timber canvas. 

In other parts of the world, the red fox has been hunted and killed for sport and their coats. In my home Australia, the red fox is the hunter. Second to animal agriculture, the red fox is a primary cause of native species loss and endangerment. Our ecosystem is no match for these incredibly intelligent and stealthy creatures. It’s easier to simply stop hunting an animal and protect those that are left. But our situation here js much more complex. Leave the fox alone and we risk even more of our wildlife becoming endangered or extinct. Try to trap or kill them and we are not only being cruel to them but also to the other creatures that may succumb to their traps, poisons or whatever. 

Us humans really have a knack for messing things up. And the worse we mess them up the more the solution isn’t black and white. What is the lesser of two, three, ten evils?

I’ve taken everything but the most essential things off my desk. Just a collection of brushes I’m most likely to use, solvent, palette, paper towel, paints and easel. 

This desk is built in so I’m just using some Masonite or whatever this js to protect the desk.

I’m baaaack…. Renovating, moving house, settl I’m baaaack….

Renovating, moving house, settling somewhere new has been a much bigger interruption on my art, confidence for posting, and my whole life focus. 

I’m still settling into my new studio space and working out my lighting and things. 

So it’s not pretty or we’ll organised or we’ll lit but it’s space. And I’m getting used to painting in small bursts through various interruptions rather than needing big chunks of time to make progress. 

Finishing this painting will be a big boost. Welcome back to my pursuit of creativity, meaning, and artistic skill 😊

Now…how do hashtags work again…

Is the world truly ready for Toofies? 🤔 You ma Is the world truly ready for Toofies? 🤔

You may be aware I am am artist creating often pretty serious paintings. 

But I’m also a mother and I love to sculpt too. 🤗

So I created something that doesn’t seem to exist anywhere else: Custom polymer clay figurine sculptures for …get this… milk tooth keepsakes 🦷

This little guy went to a lovely boy who “Carries it around everywhere, took it to school to show his teachers.” 🥰

So if you’re a parent with some teeth squirrelled away in a dusty box somewhere, I’d be super thrilled to make one for you. 

30% off until Aug 31 - no code required. 😊💕

Winter Moon This image is based off a painting I Winter Moon

This image is based off a painting I did a while ago.⠀I really loved that painting and always wanted to recreate and improve it digitally. I'm very satisfied with how the vector illustration turned out. 

One of the best things about winter is being able to wear chunky scarves 😊 so cozy. 

Reminder 30% off all art prints in my shop with PRINTS30 🎉

To NFT or not to NFT - that is the question. Thi To NFT or not to NFT - that is the question. 

This is something I haven't posted on here before - a piece of digital art I released as an animated NFT. 

The animated version is extra sassy 😉

I still have a big soft spot in my heart for the NFT art community but the process of making and promoting my art well in this space was quite taxing with small kids at home so I've taken a little step back but would love to continue making NFTs sometime and see how the technology has evolved while I've been MIA for a bit. 

This piece is called Winter Sun 🌝
I haven't yet released her companion piece - Winter Moon 🌚

The artist behind the art... 👋 hi I don't show The artist behind the art... 👋 hi

I don't show my face very often 🙈. My feed is a fairly accurate representation of just how introverted I am. I like to focus on my family, my work, and my art. 

So here is a rare sighting of me in one of my natural habitats. My circus - my monkeys. 

I personally do like getting to know a bit more about the artists I follow. So I may show my face around here just a tiny bit more often 🤪

Wishing everyone a wonderful day xx

I'm closing my print shop 😱(sort of) and having I'm closing my print shop 😱(sort of) and having a 30% off Belated Birthday Sale 🎈

Better late than never? Since having kids I'm always late so let's just embrace it ⏰

So starting August 1,⠀I will only be releasing limited edition fine art prints,⠀hand-embellished fine art prints. 

My digital prints will remain available for now... and are also on sale because why not. 😊

Another birthday gone. It’s not a new year but I Another birthday gone. It’s not a new year but I’m determined to make it a different year for my art and habits this year starting…a few days ago. 

So enjoy my beautiful birthday flowers with my collection of brush vases (this is only less than half of my brush hoard 😆) and you can look forward to more art and a more lighthearted approach to my Instagram feed from here. 

I’d like to share more of my process and more of the weird and crafty projects I do when I’m not working on my more mentally taxing surreal paintings.

Done. I think I’ll cal it ‘Comfort’. Yeste Done. I think I’ll cal it ‘Comfort’. 

Yesterday’s live paint was just acrylics. This morning I finished it off with oils.

The result of today’s #livestream paint on @edit The result of today’s #livestream paint on @edit.party @zoom although I’ll definitely add some more shading before I call it fully complete. 

It got a bit hairy there for a bit with camera setup and second guessing my colours but overall it’s turned out as well as I can hope for - especially considering the awkward angles I had to get into with my laptop blocking my arm space. #learningexperience 

Thanks @cache_bunny for letting me paint on your festival even though @jaydenlawson has really been the one on @edit.party. Thanks @divaaverill for being helpful and really sweet. 

The meaning behind this piece is something I’d like everyone to choose for themselves. What can it be a metaphor for to you?

For me, it’s about those things in our life that are perhaps cute or comforting or alluring but also hurting us. Depression (used as a comfort zone as opposed to true depression which is our bodies being kind to us when life is really really hard), food addictions, excess coffee, procrastination, binge watching tv, excessive anything really - even exercise... 

@jaydenlawson wanted me to tie the design into @edit.party somehow so the shape of the ears were changed but the ears, heart nose, and teardrop drips echoing the @cache_bunny logo are just visual...things....and in no way am I equating @edit.party or @cache_bunny to anything negative.
