These are the things that excite me : well chosen words, vibrant colours that sing of summer , the compelling rhythm of nature's patterns, blank pages pregnant with possibilities. These are the things that I love: my family, creating, painting, writing, laughing, being.

Painting with emotion

July 14, 2022

Earlier this year in my pastel class we focussed on sharing our emotional reaction to the seasons in our paintings. How do we do that? What does it even mean? Put simply, painting should be more than faithfully reproducing a subject — we should be trying toshare our feelings about the subject so we can … More Painting with emotion

Classic style meets ecoprint

May 8, 2022

Some time ago I was visiting my local recycling center and spotted a chair I just LOVED the shape of. It was in a very poor condition with bright orange covering that was worn, cracked and torn but had beautiful, classic lines and great chrome legs. I bought it then had to borrow a screw … More Classic style meets ecoprint

Painting Spring Landscapes

February 18, 2022

Of all the seasons Spring is the most abundant, full of new growth, flowers bursting forth and covering the landscape with massed colour. It can sometimes be a bit of a sensory overload when it comes to trying to capture all that riotous growth in a painting. You can see what I mean here…the desert … More Painting Spring Landscapes

Glad I looked out my bathroom windows early this morning. What a fabulous sky! Check out @lindyatleafandprint to see more of this eco printed leather bag. One of my favourites thus far. Think this one is done...do you ever go back once you've  signed a painting? Dora draped with a selection of eco printed silk scarfs. She's posing under our sycamore tree which supplies so many of the elaves I use for printing. They're all heading off to my Etsy shop tonight ready for Mothers' Day. I'll be moving my eco printing to a seperate IG account @lindyatleafandprint so if you would like to keep seeing what I'm up to why not head over and follow. #ecoprinitngonsilk #ecoprintedcarf #ecoprintinspiration #ecoprintingtasmania #lindyatleafandprint #leafndprint #botanicalprinting #printingonsilk #silkscarfgifts #mothersdaygiftsideas #autumninspiration #inspiredbyleaves #autumncolours Happy Easter to all. Easter for me is a time of hope, renewal, forgiveness and peace. Whatever your personal faith or traditions I wish you peace and hope amidst life's  challenges and struggles. A trio of autumn silk scarfs. The sycamore tree is starting to shed it's leaves so I'm busy eco printing with them mixed in with other leaves from my garden. I've been using up some of my leather scraps and samples making glass cases. I'll be uploading to my Etsy shop in the next few days in time for Mother's Day. I was really happy with the lovely fresh green and the zingy orange against the soft greys and tans of the background on this eco printed silk scarf...just listed in my Etsy shop. #ecoprintonsilk #botanicalprintonsilk #botanicalprinting #ecoprinting #printsfromnature #silknaturescarf #eucalyptusprint #textileartist #tsmanianartist #leafandprint #naturaldyeing #printingwithleaves This started life as quite a different painting but then it led me to this autumn forest path! Sometimes the painting goes where it wants to.
