Jen’s careful layering of coloured pencil creates remarkable depth and dimension across each fleshy leaf, bringing out subtle shifts in colour, fine surface details, and the plant's distinctive textures. The close composition draws attention to the repeating shapes and organic curves, creating a work that feels both detailed and beautifully serene.
There is something particularly lovely about the contrast between the succulent’s softness and its resilience — a plant designed to conserve, withstand and thrive.

Featured Artist - Mandy Tingay
Bold geometry. Vibrant colour. Unexpected texture.
Mandy’s geometric abstractions have an almost architectural quality, balancing crisp lines and strong colour with layers of texture that reveal something new the closer you look. Inspired by the pioneering abstraction of artists such as Malevich and Kandinsky, her work is energetic, considered and unmistakably her own.
From her Bellarine Peninsula studio, Mandy creates pieces that invite you to look twice — and then look again.
And while Mandy would probably rather quietly let the artwork do the talking, we think it’s time she stepped into the spotlight.
New Works
Some birds demand attention. Others simply command it.

Set against a dramatic black background, every feather, subtle colour and thoughtful gaze comes to life, creating a striking portrait that celebrates the beauty and spirit of Australia's beloved Kookaburra.
