Pie Crust and Beagle

80 x 80 cm

Oil on Canvas, framed in dark stained Blackwood. 

A still life that brings the old world and the new into the same frame. The vintage beagle bookend, piecrust mirror and 1930s Thermos nod to our English heritage, while the bold Australian banksias push forward with their own wild, sculptural beauty. I love how these objects—polished bakelite, rough seed pods, glass preserving jars—tell a layered story about our homes, our history, and the mix of influences that shape what we keep close.
