25.01.2022 Last two days of @mundaringhillsopenstudios there’s 48 artists on the trail, I’ll be painting and sharing my artworks in the @junipergallerieswa studio from 10-5 all weekend. Thanks lovely Trish for the opportunity to work in this fabulous building once again x

This includes works commissioned in Jan so email me if you’ve been thinking about getting a portrait, landscape or pup painting done.

25.01.2022 Close up of Fern Pool Trees - just finished, I’m exhausted and happy. Still loving working from a dark background for depth
24.01.2022 A new fern pool trying to capture a hazy morning warming up on the bank after swimming under the waterfalls The water cascading down is warm from the rocks whilst the pool itself is freezing I’ve painted a dark ground to start from (instead of working straight on top of white) and have been enjoying the way you can pic up texture from the ground’s brush strokes to enhance the haziness x
24.01.2022 So much work planned for today but we’ve had a slight set back so it’s time for rest x I’m so lucky to have access to the care Olive needed, makes my heart ache even more having seen all the photos of injured animals from the fires :( I’ll be donating 50% of all pup portrait commissions in January to @wireswildliferescue more details over the weekend on insta, fb + website, plus there’s still time to bid on Trigg Swirl #ozfireartauction x
24.01.2022 Look forward to showing works at @junipergallerieswa March show REGENERATION I’m feeling deep sadness for all those who’ve lost their homes in the bushfire and am so grateful for the firefighters - wishing them luck in quenching this bastard
23.01.2022 Such a beautiful BIG doggo Shiloh is an akbash, traditionally Turkish herd guardians, she’s incredibly strong, loyal and clever. More spots for pup commissions open in September, DM or email me x
22.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came to visit me at @junipergallerieswa for the @mundaringhillsopenstudios I was overwhelmed by all your support! For those who watched me painting this good pup she’s now finished + drying
21.01.2022 DIAGO described by some as ‘a gentleman and a scholar’ and by others ‘that pr*ck just tried to bite me’... our pups have personality x
20.01.2022 I painted my dream waterhole... warm air, cool (not freezing) calm water and full of life but nothing human-life threatening... did you know snakes can swim?? let me know thoughts on names too! x
20.01.2022 HUGE thank you to Gary Mitchell for opening STATE OF FLOW Gary has been my framer for 15 years + was one of the first people I spoke to who gave me the confidence to choose art full time. If you ever need a framer (or life advice) you can find him at Framous midland x . LAST WEEKEND to catch State of Flow, Gallery will be open from 10am and I’ll be at the gallery 1pm - 5pm Sat + Sun x . SWIPE to see a couple of pics form the opening xo @ Juniper Galleries WA
18.01.2022 How nice is the sun?? Looking forward to finishing this delish Dalmation
15.01.2022 Sun Dance 76 x 76cm, oil on canvas, minimal white washed wooden frame. I LOVE moving, watching movement + then expressing it with paint. This is the moment when you’re watching a wave roll in, sun glinting on its surface + shining through the barrel... just before it crashes in your face ... More work going up online before the weekend x . . . . . #wave #paintingwater #oiloncanvas #cottesloe #northcott #jomeredithart #oceanart #waveart #paintingmovement #sea #swimming #wabeaches #perthlife
14.01.2022 Dog or seal? so grateful for days spent in the sun + for this studio assistant
13.01.2022 When one tree falls down over 100,000 new organisms emerge. I love knowing that even the fallen trees are still full of life Darlington Texture 30x30cm oil on board, texture from the ‘fallen’ painting underneath x
12.01.2022 A late response to my beautiful @ellecampbellart’s nomination #womensupportingwomen sadly the reason for posting black + white selfies is to emulate the images of Turkish + Iranian women published across news outlets + social media daily because they’ve been murdered to ‘preserve family honour’ femicide is horrific, to find out more look up @stopfemicides. Thanks @lailakirkpatrick for your post, information is power I wasn’t aware of the prevalence of femicide before this movement, I’m overwhelmed by how big the problem is - it’s just so SAD, and I’m grateful for all the wonderful women in my life, may those who have been murdered rest in power x
12.01.2022 North Cott Ripple 30x30cm Getting backings on paintings and setting up residence at Juniper Galleries’ a-frame studio ready for @mundaringhillsopenstudios opening this Saturday with 49 artists on the trail :)

10.01.2022 Close up of Pemberton Path lots of texture created by the failed painting underneath ;) Looking forward to sharing my studio for @mundaringhillsopenstudios starting this Saturday!
10.01.2022 Finally finished Oakley Dam Renewal 75cm x 100cm. This canvas was once a sunset that I managed to spill turps all over the day before my first solo... floods of tears (anxious build up over the show) and the canvas leaning against a wall in my studio half finished for 3 years. So nice to give it a fresh life and reflect on how much calmer my creative process is becoming over time x

05.01.2022 Whilst we’re all feeling this collective uncertainty, taking pleasure in simple moments of connection, enjoying movement, doggos, the sun + deep breathes feels like a soothing balm x Let’s all take care of each other + be creative in still finding moments of ease + fun
