THE GUMLEAF COLLECTION (from 2024)

Reflecting on this extraordinary country I’m lucky enough to call home, I have begun my latest series of watercolours, The Gumleaf Collection. Paintings from this series will be my contribution to a group exhibition to be held in The Garden Gallery in Sydney’s Botanic Gardens in November 2025.

Each small painting will combine two iconic Aussie images. First, the gumleaf, which most of us would pass by, somewhere, every day, most likely not giving it a second thought. And within the gumleaf will be something we’re less likely to see every day, but something uniquely Australian. It may be an abandoned, isolated, yet eye-catching outback dwelling. It may be a remote railway station. Or perhaps an outback church, or a lighthouse ...

This collection is growing all the time, and there are many more completed gumleaves than you will see here. So if there’s somewhere in particular you’re interested in, let me know. If I haven’t already done it, I might be able to paint it for you.

Unless noted otherwise, the paintings below are available for purchase. Please drop me an email.
