    • Contemporary Horizons of Wonder – An Exhibition of Travel & Landscape Photography

    For as long as I can remember, I have seen the world through a lens. Long before life became complicated, photography was my way of travelling, of connecting, of holding onto beauty. After many years, I have just held my first exhibition again — a moment that felt like stepping back into myself, even after seasons of living in fight-or-flight. None of this would have been possible without the encouragement and love of my community. As a way of giving back, I would like to offer my exhibition prints to you throughout the month of November, with free shipping — a chance for me to share a little piece of my journey and heart with those who have supported me and my family along the way.” 

    Art is more than something we hang on walls — it is a language of memory, imagination, and connection. In a world that moves quickly, art reminds us to pause, to look closely, and to feel deeply. It teaches us to see beauty not just in the extraordinary, but in the quiet details of our lives and landscapes.

    Art carries culture, story, and spirit across generations. It is a bridge between people and places, a way of understanding each other beyond words. And perhaps most importantly, art gives us hope — because every act of creation is a reminder that we are capable of shaping the world with vision, courage, and care.

    The Exhibition

    From the windswept ridgelines of Mount Everest to the golden blaze of Australian canola fields, and the spiritual quiet of Bhutan’s valleys, these photographs trace a journey across landscapes that stir both awe and belonging.

    Each image is an invitation to pause—at the edge of a mountain, in the silence of a temple, or beneath fields that ripple like oceans of light—and to see the world not just as terrain, but as story. These works weave together earth’s contrasts: vastness and intimacy, tradition and modernity, movement and stillness.

    This exhibition is not only a record of travel, but a meditation on place—how landscapes hold memory, culture, and spirit, and how they remind us of our own journeys.

    The Sicilian Mare: Sicily, Italy

    Captured in the wild fields of Sicily, this horse moves through light and shadow — a living sculpture of grace and freedom. Her form dissolves into the landscape, echoing the timeless bond between nature and spirit.

    Wings Over Red Earth: Central West, NSW, Australia

    A lone aircraft rests on a strip of crimson soil — the colour of Australia’s beating heart. Bathed in evening light, it speaks of distance, adventure, and the quiet courage of those who chase horizons beyond sight.

    Golden Wattle Light Central West, NSW, Australia

    Under the open sky, the wattle burns gold against the green. A symbol of resilience and renewal, it blooms fiercely — a whisper of beauty that belongs entirely to this land.

    Flight and Joy: Thimphu, Bhutan

    A moment of pure life — pigeons rising in a storm of wings outside a temple courtyard. Amid motion and laughter, the scene becomes a celebration of presence: the spirit of Bhutan seen not in stillness, but in the joyful heartbeat of its people.

    The Wanderer’s Path: Bhutan Himalayas

    A solitary figure walks the mountain trail, carrying only what is needed. In the dappled light of the forest, this image captures the rhythm of simplicity — the quiet grace of those who walk with purpose, in harmony with the land beneath their feet.

    Fortress of the Clouds: Punakha Dzong, Bhutan

    Perched between the rivers Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu, this ancient monastery fortress stands as a symbol of Bhutan’s spiritual heart. The golden light catches its layered rooftops, revealing centuries of craftsmanship, devotion, and resilience — a sanctuary where mountains and faith meet.

    The Sentinel Tree Central West, NSW, Australia

    A single tree stands watch over a vast, sunburnt plain. Its solitude is not emptiness but strength — a reminder that endurance often grows in the stillest places.

    My Everest: Himalayas, Nepal

    Photographed from the window of flight, this image transcends geography to become a personal metaphor for strength. “My Everest” is both the mountain itself and the mountains we each must climb — moments of stillness above the storm. The light across its ridges reveals not only the majesty of the Himalayas, but the quiet triumph of seeing life from above the clouds.

    Road to the Steppe Mongolia

    A winding track disappears into rolling hills beneath a vast Mongolian sky. Here, the road is not a path but a poem — a journey into stillness, solitude, and the unspoken language of the earth.

    The Materials

    How are Stones and Lil’Stones made?

    With love and reconstituted stone.

    These lil’ babies are not simple to make, but they’re simple in their ingredients list. The

    stones are solid and smooth – matte-porcelain. The face is hand sanded to remove shine and allow the inks to absorb into the stone without the need for sealants or extra nasties.

    It’s simply stone and ink bonded together using UV cured light.

    Are Lil’Stones fragile?

    Yes. Lil’Stones are small works of wonder—treat them as you would a snowdome – shake them just don’t drop them.

    Your Lil’Stones will chip or break when dropped onto an equally hard surface. We’ve designed the stones carefully to reduce pressure points, however it all depends on the fall – Distance, speed and contact material are all factors.

    Stone is a porous material and can act like a sponge which is why we don’t use extra sealants to adhere the ink to the stone—they bond as naturally as stone and ink can. For extra protection, you can spray a little art sealant on your stone otherwise, avoid dirty hands, inks, oils or sharp objects.

    Can I clean my Lil’Stones?

    You can give your Lil’Stones a gentle clean by running warm water over the stone and carefully rubbing with a clean microfibre. Avoid using abrasive cleaners near the image and leave your Lil’Stones in the sun to dry—usually around 12 hours.

    Working with natural materials that can never be tamed. Every piece of timber, every grain of stone behaves as intended.

    Using second life materials takes a little longer, carrying their own designs through production. We simply make the most of these characters and enjoy their differences.
