Original Art Gallery
Creating Works of HeART
Welcome to the gallery proudly showcasing my original hand drawn art from 2015-Present; featuring a variety of mediums, dedicated to my beloved muse, the horse and some wildlife too!
Art is my passion, therapy and self-expression in this world full of chaos, beauty, wonder and the unknown. I am self-taught, and believe because of this, I have been able to explore and create my own unique style; experiment, learn, fail, try again and grow as an artist without interference, judgement or bias. I compete only with myself, and thrive on the art journey/process. It's all so exciting, challenging and creative!
Artworks that are AVAILABLE will say so, but please also visit the Available Art and Archives pages to view more artworks for sale. Alternatively, you may choose to buy my art via ART LOVERS AUSTRALIA, an online gallery or my ARTIST'S SHOP.
 RemembranceI think this artwork is my best to date! Highly textural, with a strength and energy that Equus holds within me; a meditative yet powerful piece with rich layers and meaning. Please see AVAILABLE ART page for more information about this piece. |  Free Bird IIIThe third in the 'Free Bird' series, this artwork features a cute little sparrow. Please see AVAILABLE ART page for more information about this piece. |  Free Bird IIThe second in the 'Free Bird' series, this artwork features a sand martin. Please see AVAILABLE ART page for more information about this piece. |  Free Bird II absolutely love birds, and I love the Welcome swallows that fly over my home. I was inspired by my sister-in-law writing on her Instagram bio, 'pájaro libre' which is Spanish for free bird. I had the artwork image come to me immediately and knew I had to capture it via my art. I loved how it turned out so much, I decided to start a new series! SOLD |  AncientAs I was working on this piece, it was giving me ancient Egyptian/hieroglyphic vibes, hence the title. Featuring a stunning Akhal-Teke, I wanted this piece to have the same metallic shine as this breed's coat. In the sunshine, this piece does not disappoint! See my social media for a video.

 Spanish WalkAs it turned out, the background resembled spanish tiles to me, and I knew I was drawing an Andalusian before I started the artwork. I love when synchronicity happens! Please see AVAILABLE ART page for more information about this piece. |  SamavetaSAMAVETA means 'together' in Sanskrit. I started this piece back in August 2022... sometimes, artworks take time to come together! This is the first time I have drawn two horses in the one artwork, and it's my first artwork for 2023.

Slawik (www.slawik.com) and used with permission. Please see AVAILABLE ART page for more information about this piece. |  SimplicityThis little piece featuring an Andalusian stallion performing the Spanish walk gave me a big lesson in what it is to be an artist: less is more, beauty is in simplicity and always listen to what the artwork is telling me!

 Surya Ashwa (Sun Horse)SURYA ASHWA is Sanskrit for SUN HORSE, and the beautiful Arabian stallion is just that! He shines!

 La Mer (The Sea)This piece reminds me of waves and sea foam with the tranquil blue greens, textural mane and shimmering pearlescent blue Pan Pastel used on the background.
