2021 is now under way, and I’m pleased to share with you that my first artwork release will be showcasing and championing the Great Barrier Reef. Living in the Northern Beaches of Cairns, Far North Queensland, I am reminded each day just how fortunate I am to be located in the middle of two World Heritage sites. To the east is the Coral Sea, and the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area; and to the west, is the tropical rainforest ecosystem of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. As I’m sure many of you will know, World Heritage Areas are nominated by their home countries for their scientific, cultural, and historical significance, and the two mentioned above have all of that and more.

In Australia, we are blessed with an incredible array of stunning landscapes and wildlife but in the fast pace of modern life, we don’t always get the time or opportunity to experience the natural environment regularly. By bringing the natural world inside, you can create your own little natural oasis and reconnect with nature, even if the only jungle around is a concrete one.
