At last I can reveal the paintings I have been working on for The Sound of Music musical…this one is called “Climb Every Mountain” and was used on light boards for the backgrounds of the family scenes.
What a privilege to be a part of this amazing show. I can not get over how much people contributed their gifts to serve. It was a gift to be able to be a part of it, and just saying I am super proud of my kids.

I used to be really afraid of the dark, even as an adult. I am not sure what scared me so much, but with time I have learnt to appreciate the light in the darkness. We are so lucky to have the stars and the moon, to keep us company and they are so breathtaking. We also have the privilege of street lights!
There are many beautiful gum trees close to me that when illuminated by the street lights seem to offer their own source of comfort and light. Their beauty is highlighted even more in the darkness.
It reminds me to look for the light in the darkness and to hopefully reflect that light also.
The background of this piece has been made impressions from plants, using charcoal and marble powder to press into the painting.

I am obsessed with Aussie trees. I love to study them; their beautiful shapes and colours are so unique and stunning. I have realised that each one has its own unique beauty, just like people. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours, each varying so much from the next. Why do we see differences in people as a bad thing, when the differences in the trees make our lives so much richer and more beautiful.
I love the trees and the lessons to be learnt from them when I take the time to look.
This is a mixed media piece, with the background having prints of local leaves and grasses.

Waking up to the sounds of native birds is such a privilege. I am so lucky to have them in abundance in the neighbourhood where I live. They are a constant source of joy and their sound, when taking the time to listen to them, pulls me out of my head full of worries, and jobs to be done, and back into the present. Appreciating God’s creation has been such my through some of the toughest times.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink ; or what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:25-26

A neighbour, in a street near where I live, has always had the most magnificent poppies in spring, for as long as I can remember. I don’t know if she just loves them or they have a more significant meaning for her, but these poppies have always brought me so much joy, year after year. This is a tribute to her legacy, and her beautiful poppies.

Sometimes the troubles of this life accumulate on me, overwhelming me and overcoming me and I want a break, I want it to stop, to ease up, for the burdens and the pains to be lifted. But do you know what…this is life. It is easy to look around and think that others have it easier than we do, and sometimes that is true, but sometimes it isn’t, the pains of this life are hidden so often by a facade, that make us believe that it should be easier than it is.
This painting has been about adapting, healing the past, looking toward hope, but seeing joy in the day to day, in the weeds that have abounded in the rain, in the rain itself, in the birds that wake me in the morning. When I stop and listen, moment by moment, I can keep putting one foot in front of another and enjoy the journey.
