Titled: Still Life Blossom
Measurements: 297mm x 210mm
Drawn and Painted 2025
Created using graphite pencil on paper and watercolour for the botanical portion. This is a resolved work from week 3, still life botanical. This work is a study on perspective and still life together. I decided to use watercolour as a splash of colour, to obscure the image challenging the viewers eye. I like how the part of the plant coming out of the water is in colour, symbolising the vibrancy of life.
Titled: Nestled
Measurements: 297mm x 420mm
Drawn 2025
The creative method utilised to create ‘Nestled’ was graphite pencil on paper. This is a resolved work from week 4 of drawing, Portraiture. ‘Portraiture captures the philosophy of the time and the psychology of the artist.’ UniSQ Course Notes.
Titled: Mumma
Measurements: 420mm x 297mm
Drawn 2025
‘Mumma’ was created using charcoal erasure on paper. This is a resolved work from week one. It investigates tone, and how it is used to show form in a drawn object.
Both ‘Nestled’ and ‘Mumma’ are pictures created from photos taken by myself at homebirths, which I attended as a midwife. Each piece was created to be intricately detailed, emotive and beautiful. My intention in creating these works was to showcase the beauty of childbirth, motherhood, the love and passion I have as of the Child Health Nurse and Midwife for the families I care for. In addition to this, the profound connection between the mother and her child.
