Darter on the Cooks
 
original print on rag paper, framed with a glass and wooden frame. 40 x 33cm
 
As a Cook's River local, my printmaking is deeply inspired by the vibrant birds and diverse wildlife that inhabit the riverbanks, weaving their stories into the fabric of my work. Nature's intricate patterns and the serene yet dynamic landscapes along the river provide a constant source of creative energy, infusing my art with a sense of place and connection. Additionally, my travels broaden my perspective, bringing new textures, colors, and forms into my prints. Each piece I create is a tribute to the natural beauty I encounter daily and the adventures that shape my artistic journey, inviting viewers to explore the delicate interplay between nature and imagination.
