Bush Portals Botanical Art Exhibition
Hello lovely,
I’m super excited today to share a peek inside my recent Bush Portals botanical art exhibition, featuring artworks I created with locally foraged plants and their beautiful hidden dye properties 🌿
Option to add a ‘pressi frame’, handmade here in Australia. Learn more.
The exhibition was held in my beautiful new Artuition private art studio in Clontarf, Queensland, Australia, on Gubbi Gubbi / Ningy Ningy Country. This is also the area where I collected most of the plants for my artworks.
With over 100 affordably priced, matted, original artworks on show, there was something for everyone!

It was such a beautiful turn-out on the day, with lots of conversations with wonderful friends, family and followers of my work over the years.as well as some of my biggest fans - my wonderful art students.
I loved decorating the space with dried flowers, seed pods and nature items I’d collected on my botanical art foraging trips, to make it a lovely immersive experience for my customers.
I’ve had many exhibitions in my 20 + year art career, but this show definitely felt the most immersive, intimate and fulfilling experience I’ve shared to date.
If you missed out on the exhibition event, I have set up a mini show here in my new studio for the next few weeks! You’re more than welcome to come along and have a look through the botanical art in my studio.
Send me a message if you’d like to pop into the studio to view the Bush Portals show.
Over the next few months, these babies will go out into the world to some of my stockists and up in my art shop. Stay tuned for updates!
A massive thanks to all those who came to my Bush Portals exhibition, those who purchased my art, to my wonderful partner Heidi helping set up and for wrapping everyone’s new art to take home, and Mother Nature for all her wonderful, inspiring beauty to behold and co-create with!
