Trees in different seasons
Watercolours and watercolour pencils on paper
I’ve always been drawn to nature, have little things growing on my windowsills. Trees are my restful place. I started with painting a single tree, then moved onto painting the tree in different seasons. The included poem encompasses my whole understanding of trees in seasons.

ACRYLIC
Art, life, LOVE all life lessons, a journey, a LANDSCAPE, a view, a walk, a drive. Enjoy every part of that moment in time.
This is my first painting using acrylics.

Under the Sea
Fused Glass
The sea is beautiful and mesmerising to look at. There’s also so much going on under the surface that we often don’t notice, a whole new world.

The Calm
Oil paint on paper
There is a certain kind of peace that comes from the ocean; likewise, a certain kind of serenity that can only be found in a storm. A reset to the chaos and the noise of life, simply by being. The reflection of existence in condensed form. Untameable and raw. No matter how dark or how terrifying it could be, it too, shall pass.
Melinda Pursell
Silence
Acrylic
‘Silence’ captures a woman rising through emotional weight, symbolizing resilience, release, and transformation. It reflects the silent strength found in vulnerability and the journey toward light through darkness.

All in at Home
Watercolours and felt tip pen
Thinking about the title of this exhibition had me consider the fact I like being All in at Home where I can relax, recharge and be creative in the company of my two cats pictured. Glados (tabby) + Cleo (black).

Purple Apple Berry (Billardiera longiflora)
Water colour
Purple Apple Berry (Billardiera longiflora)
This water colour painting of the purple apple-berry was selected for display in Belconnen Art Centre, Canberra in a worldwide “Bountiful Botanicals” exhibition and chosen as one of forty works representing Australia for a YouTube slideshow in galleries of thirty-two different countries. This specimen was found in a remnant of bush on our property in Kindred. It inspired the artist to research its current uses and its historical & cultural significance to the indigenous people of Tasmania. The berries were harvested in the wild and consumed fresh or dried for later use. The fruit’s sweet and slightly tangy flavor made it a favourite. It is also rich in Vitamin C and contains antioxidants. Still valued for its culinary and ornamental qualities, it is used in modern bushfood cuisine, where it adds a unique flavor to jams, desserts, and sauces. It is one of Author Rees Campbell’s (Eat Wild Tasmania) favourite fruits to use in her recipes.

Line honours
Bog wood mounted on basalt sea rock
Line Honours (Maxi Yacht)
With its tall, striking silhouette and a subtle lean in its form, Line Honours evokes the power and grace of an ocean racing yacht surging toward the finish. The sail-like bog wood rises from a splinter of sea-worn basalt, its edges softened by time, wind, and water. The minimal tilt in the vertical timber suggests wind tension in the sail—motion captured in stillness.
About Bog Wood
Bog wood is ancient timber preserved for centuries—sometimes millennia—in oxygen-poor environments such as peat bogs, riverbeds, or swamps. Over time, the wood darkens and hardens, acquiring a dense, jet-black appearance and rich textural depth. Each piece is unique, shaped by geology, time, and chance, making it a prized material for natural sculpture.

Paranaple
Fineliner pen on watercolour paper
Paranaple is a line art illustration that captures the bold geometry and quiet strength of Devonport’s Paranaple Centre. This work explores the building’s role as more than just an architectural landmark, it is a civic heart, a place where community, culture, and connection come together.
Using clean lines and considered detail, the drawing reflects both the physical form of the centre and the significance it holds for those who pass through it. It invites viewers to see the structure not only as grand architecture, but as a place shaped by people, stories, and connection.

As Clear As
Photograph
What we used to believe in was straightforward. As clear as black and white:
* Caring for each other = Good.
* Clean water and a roof over your head = Your right.
* Protecting the environment = Everyone’s responsibility.
* Genocide = Never Again.
But now, it’s not so clear.
Those with power and money are doing a really good job of buying our attention, distracting us with technology gimmicks, reality TV politics, and pitting us against each other. They’re doing this to secure their future, not ours. And in doing so, they’re blurring our beliefs. Now:
* Caring for each other = Woke.
* Clean water and a roof over your head = No guarantees.
* Protecting the environment = Someone else’s problem.
* Genocide = OK with manufactured consent.
But, is this what we truly believe? I hope not.
This photograph is your opportunity to pause, and reflect.
Without distraction.

So, what is important to you? Is it as clear as black and white?

Over the rainbow – Deloraine Tasmania
Watercolour /crayon mix
Saunders cotton paper 300gsm
Sunlight strikes raindrops to bend and refract , the rain in front and blue sky behind, creating a kaleidoscope of red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. A natural pnomenia.
My impression of a rainbow was observed in Deloraine. It depicts the storms of life against a darkened sky the brightness of the rainbow offers hope and joy. Overcoming adversity you gotta put up with some rain before the rainbow.
As I look at the rainbow it’s a reminder of my childhood days looking for that pot of gold and a happy far away land beyond.
Life is a painting you are the artist… one of my favorite quotes.

Relative
Photograph on acrylic
In a world obsessed with youth, filters, and fleeting fame, the aged often go unseen—quiet, wise, and gently pushed aside. But when measured against the vast silence of the solar system, our priorities blur.
Mama—captured here in a rare lucid moment—holds more than memory; she carries dignity, grace, and the kind of love that never leaves you. Her presence, like a distant star, still burns. We chase what sparkles briefly, while forgetting what truly lights the dark. This piece invites us to look up—and remember: the oldest stars never stop shining.

Cluan Vista
Watercolour
This tree has observed much from the land clearance, various people through the ages living and working on the property and farming methods through to modern times. It has seen situations humerous and not so humerous, if only it could talk!

“I used all of my 1×1 lego bits, but ran out so had to fill the rest with black & white pieces & now it looks like a picture.”
Wez is a 5 year old boy who loves lego & entered this piece in a school lego competition, but it seemed to catch the eye of every adult…

Jewelled Heaven
Fabric, Paper, Fusible Webbing, Permanent Marker and Brush Pens
The Jewelled Heaven resembles a goddess. It took three weekends. My favourite element is the crown.The work has lots of details including the use of embroidery scissors to cut the webbing. The hair, dress and crown match. I used colours from magenta to ultra-marine purple. I am thankful to my grandma for helping me with this artwork.

Feminine power
wooden panel
This painting is inspired by the women in my mother’s hometown in the Carribean coast of Colombia. I have tried to capture the tropical colours of the region and the inspiring powerful women I know there.
