I am an Australian woman of Celtic heritage. I am an artist and designer of hand crafted lettering, Celtic art & drawing from nature. I use watercolor gouache, inks, acrylics & gilding for painting and calligraphy, dabbling in mixed media, printmaking & pyrography. Favoring works on paper, canvas & gourds.

My intricate & vibrant paintings feature Celtic patterns interlaced with native plants, birds, insects & calligraphy. My tools of choice are very fine pointed brushes, calligraphy pens with chisel or pointed nibs, or made from found objects. I prefer soft color pencils for detailed drawings of birdlife. For large artworks I like to paint on cotton fabrics or canvas with acrylics.

This artwork is a mandala. In the center are 3 large red waratahs with the stems connected into a spiral. The waratahs are highlighted by a gold background, in which you will find little bees. A soft green border surrounds this filled with delicate Monarch Butterflies in various poses. Another border in blues frames the whole piece with waves of spirals. Tucked into the spirals are green-white Flannel Flowers highlighted by gilding in each center. Memories of walks in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
