Just... wowww!
This stunning depiction of Kalimpinpa by Nellie Marks Nakamarra will add a sensational pop of colour to any home. The use of colour selected by Nellie.in this work is so vibrant, see how it becomes the focus point in this room?
Love it!

That time Fabrianne Peterson had a cool idea and sketched it...
One of the most creative artists in our studio, Fabrianne recently sent me this sketch she had been playing around with and asked if she could try painting it. Of course we said yes! And this is what she created from that original idea 😍

It was great to catch up with Adrian Newstead OAM, President of Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA) today. And a timely reminder that when you purchase Indigenous Art, you need to ensure the gallery or studio you purchase from are members of either AAAA or Indigenous Art Code of Conduct.
These associations ensure that the galleries, dealer and art centres you purchase artworks from are above board and treating artists ethically.

My awesome Bush Medicine Shoes by Marie Ryder came today, and I have to say - these are SO COMFY!
If you love the look of these, I can highly recommend! I have the European size 48 and usually wear Aus mens 12 or 13. Karl used toi say that I have Hobbit Feet haha! They are wider at the front, so I need a wider shoe. These are really very comfy and I truly hope more of you get some for yourselves. Go to the following site to order your own:
