I’m really happy with how this piece turned out! The last few months I’ve been struggling to do any kind of art, but after delving into some of drawing resources, I found a bit of that spark again! I also took some inspiration from the works of 🧡
Peachy Fairy 🧚♀️🍑
I lost my spark for a little bit there but after delving into digital art school resources, I found some passion again!
Lately I’ve been thinking about my own childhood as my due date approaches (very quickly) and this artwork is loosely inspired by the times I used to spend at my Nan’s house and she had a lot of fairy statues in her garden.
I call this artwork, ‘Woman Wearing a Skull Mask In a Field Of Wheat, Dancing Beneath a Crescent Moon’. 🌙 💃
The Lonely Troll 🍄🟫 I’m working on some mythical character art to strengthen this style, any ideas on what creatures to tackle next?
A little self portrait for your Thursday evening ✨
It wouldn’t be a true representation without a coffee in hand, even if I’ve had to switch to decaf as of late!
The Florist 🌸
I feel like this is me any time I take a trip to Bunnings, can anyone else relate? 😂

• The Fool Tarot •
The Fool is a card of new beginnings, opportunity and potential. It reminds us to commit to ourselves, and to follow your heart, no matter how crazy this leap of faith may seem.
Digital drawing on Procreate with textures ✨
Little warrior ☀️
Loving this fun style, the character is loosely based off an old DnD character I made, Keitha
Really happy with how this turned out! It took roughly 10 hours to finish, about the same time as watching the LOTR trilogy.

Jumping on the Art vs Artist trend ✨
This year has been wild - I had my first solo exhibition, I created my first ever children’s book, I’ve been casually volunteering at The Space Gallery + Workshops, I’ve slowly + quietly been increasing my tarot collection, and recently have stepped out of my comfort zone with new mediums + ideas!
It’s surreal to see how my art has developed over the year.
Looking forward to what 2024 brings 🖤
I have a few A6 Tarot prints up for grabs!
