This body of work explores my day-to-day life at home and around town in Maitland. Taking time to really see the smaller elements of domestic life, most of the works have been produced while I was pregnant and capture a subtle playfulness and quirk that reflects my style and personality. A progression into working with oil in recent years, this is my first show of a dedicated body of work in this medium. I just love the feel of the paint to surface, it is unlike any other mediums I have used and I think that love shows in this latest offering of paintings. Having moved to Maitland only around 4 years ago, I found creating this body of work good for the soul. It explores themes of place, what makes a home and the familiar objects that form part of my days.
