A few years ago I got to visit the N.T . A long time dream to see Uluru in the flesh. It did not disappoint. The earth was the most amazing colours , the reds, oranges , purples and greens had me salivating to create . One highlight was of course the wildlife. The dingo in particular. The howling at night was incredible it was goosebump worthy , my first introduction to one of Australia oldest dogs. To see and hear them in their natural environment was an honour.

Zebras have always been a favourite African animal. Imagine them in family groups , drinking from water holes , walking the plains in great numbers.

Imagine trying to find your mum in a world of stripes. Pastel on supertooth paper. $1,500
