“Mini Gem 7” is my playful tribute to one of Australia’s most iconic locals—the koala. I’ve always been captivated by their calm presence, that slow, deliberate curiosity, and the way they lock eyes with you as if sizing up your spirit. In this piece, I wanted to capture that direct, disarming stare. The koala sits centered against a light blue sky filled with dark-outlined, whimsical clouds, giving the artwork a gentle, almost childlike charm. Australian wildlife has shaped so much of my creative voice, and koalas in particular remind me of the fragile magic of our bushland. Painting them feels like honouring home. Mini Gem 7 brings a small moment of serenity, connection, and Aussie heart into any space.

Through the use of mixed media, combining acrylics, spray, enamel and intermittent use of oil paints I let my subject emerge from a rich and deeply layered base. The dimensional texture that masterfully unveils each layer, lets the bright colours play in harmony and contrast with each other.
This artwork is created on 380gsm 100% cotton canvas and finished with a double coat UV resistant, high gloss varnish to protect the integrity and longevity of the painting. Stretched and ready to hang, using gallery-grade hanging wire, this artwork is completed with a custom-crafted floating frame made from Tasmanian oak. I have signed this original painting on the front and back, with its title and date written on the rear of the canvas.
