New studio space + art sale! 🌸
Hi Reader!
There is so much I want to share with you, I'm excited to sit down to write this email finally. Further on, I talk about my new studio, some artwork for sale and spaces to work with me. But just quickly, I wanted to share that I am planning on making a new calendar again for 2024! I've begun creating the artwork, which will be created from original paintings this time which is really fun (previous designs used digital illustration and collage), and the twelve artworks will reflect each sign of the zodiac. I would love your help in gauging numbers, please click here to share your interest in a 2024 calendar!
Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy today's email.
New studio space
After 4 years of creating at home since moving out of my last studio at Metro Arts, a couple of months ago, I decided to expand my creative space again! After keeping an eye on what's been available in my city (not much, to be honest), it just so happened that I saw a post about a new artist community space opening up in a nearby suburb, which felt aligned with the plans I have. I jumped on the waitlist and was the first to visit and sign up for a space! When things like this happen quickly, I've learned to flow with it :)
Last week was the official opening for @thenestcreativespace in Meanjin/Brisbane. It was such a fun night celebrating with all the artists and creatives who now have these amazing studio spaces to create their work. We had some art on show and opened up the whole building for friends, fam and people in the arts community. I can’t wait to show more of the cool things that will happen here!
Studio art sale
I've had a selection of original paintings made in the last few months, which have been keeping me company in my workspace. These are explorations of different subject matter, style and composition. It's quite a mixed bag! I would love for some of them to find new owners and help make way for new work that will happen over the summer. Take a look at what's available. Most paintings are between $100-300 AUD ($65-190 USD).
If you're in Brisbane or surrounds and want to see any of the paintings in person, just let me know!

Scorpio season guide (+ free print)
Invite in and flow with the Scorpio energy with spiritual affirmations, an oracle card reading, and crystal healing — plus download your free art print.
Welcome to the season of Scorpio! To clarify, we all feel the energy of Scorpio working in our lives during this period, no matter what month we were born in.
When the sun is in your sign of Scorpio, you may find the themes that come up are heightened. This guide is to help you and the other signs stay centred and connected with your inner self by bringing your awareness to what may come up for you. You can also use this guide to understand and support the Scorpio friend in your life.
This month is ruled by Mars, Pluto and the water element, so we will benefit from leaning into more of our shadow side and doing the deeper energy work we may have been avoiding.

Hi Reader, I feel like I’m only just popping my head up from quite a difficult couple of months. If you’ve followed The Darling Tree since its early days, particularly on Instagram, you’ve probably seen our sweet dog Mambo appear from time to time. In August, we celebrated his 17th birthday, not really knowing how much time we would have left with him as his physical health and mobility declined. Considering we had some concerns back in January, he kept going in his usual stubbornly...
Hi Reader, In my last email, I mentioned the extra study thrown into the mix of my creative life, and consequently, I've had to try and improve my time management and planning. So I thought I'd share what I've been doing lately which you can read below. Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy today's email 😊 Reclaiming time and attention 🌼 There is, of course, much discussion online about our attention and how certain companies aim to get and keep it. Taking back (some) control of our...
Hi Reader, Happy solstice! Whether it's the longest Summer or shortest Winter day of the year for you, I hope this current season is supporting you and offering what your mind and body needs. Where I live we usually have very mild winters, and this year if feels like a huge relief from the extreme humidity we had earlier this year and I'm enjoying breathing in the crisp air! Something I haven’t shared much about here, or online in general, is for the last couple of years I’ve gradually been...
