79cm X 64 cm | Framed in Oak

Acrylic, Spray Paint + Oil Stick on Canvas

Kelpies have always fascinated me — their sharp intelligence, endless energy, and deep loyalty capture the essence of Australian farm life. In this painting, I’ve brought a Kelpie to life with my bold, expressive style, standing tall and locking eyes with the viewer. What makes this piece extra special is the layered collage-style background. Amongst the textures and abstract marks, a vase emerges — a nod to my still life explorations and a playful contrast to the Kelpie’s strong stance. I love how this mix of subject and background pushes me creatively while still staying true to my raw, instinctive mark-making. Collectors will appreciate the way this painting bridges tradition and experimentation, celebrating the character of an Australian icon.
