Moments making Kaye

I didn’t film a lot when making this commissioned piece, which is highly unlike me. Something about it felt private. Melbourne had exceptionally warm weather the fortnight I painted her, so most of my painting sessions were on my deck during golden hour, enjoying the last warmth we’ll see before winter sets in. It felt magical.

Recently I’ve been asking all my clients who commission me if they have a sentimental female name in their life they’d like to contribute to the piece. When my client shared her name and the story behind it, something clicked. While I won’t share her story here, this piece truly was a commemoration of a truly special day.

I’m really proud of this piece. It challenged me a lot, and even visited me in dreams (which is always the sign I’m carrying a piece with me). But all worth it, as it is one of my favourite pieces to date.

I love to paint, but this piece is why I LOVE to do commissions. The collaboration is what makes my heart sing and I still pinch myself that people want to work with me.

A little gratitude post for the start of the week 🤍

Two months ago I left my corporate advertising career of 12 years to give my art a proper crack. What has happened in those two months has been genuinely mind-boggling. Countless enquiries, messages of support, competition entries, online sales — and waking up every week excited that I get to call this my job ✨

I recently found this piece, Flowers and Fruit, that I created back in 2001 at the ripe old age of 9 🥹

It was a bloody hard decision to leave my previous career. I thoroughly enjoyed it. But finding this piece made me stop and reflect. I’m now bringing to life little 9-year-old me’s dream career 🤍

The biggest thank you to everyone who has reached out and supported me along the way — the kind messages, the stories you’ve shared, every enquiry and purchase. Cheesy as it sounds, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be creating these pieces for your homes. A true honour ✨

Colour crush of the week: 🧞‍♀️

I haven’t reached for this colour in almost a year, but over the last fortnight it has completely taken over my studio.

Safe to say… obsessed is an understatement.
