Meet the Artist

Hello, I'm Ann — the paint-splattered human behind these watercolours. 🎨

I'm an Australian watercolour artist based in Darwin, creating original works inspired by the wildlife, wild places and cheeky characters I encounter across this extraordinary country. A childhood in Papua New Guinea gave me an early obsession with colour, creature and jungle — and I've never quite recovered.

From the tropical Top End to the red heart of Central Australia, from Queensland's coastal wetlands into the wilderness of Western Australia — I travel widely, photograph everything, and paint whatever stops me in my tracks. Native birds are a particular passion. So are emus with attitude, cockatoos with opinions, and the occasional camel who thinks he owns the road.

Working in watercolour, I love the medium's honesty — it rewards confidence and punishes hesitation in equal measure. My style is loose and expressive, but every brushstroke is deliberate. Each painting is a one-of-a-kind original on archival paper, created for collectors who value individuality, craftsmanship and a genuine connection to the Australian landscape.

My work is held in private collections across Australia, and I'm always open to commissions for subjects close to your heart.
