This Aurora and her beautiful dolphin friend Nayleena. She is all cloth with needle felted hair. They have their treasure in their treasure chest that they use to barter for important stuff they may need.

FROM MY STUDIO

This is a portrait of the gardian spirit that lives on our land. There is a deep ancient aboriginal feeling here that makes our mountain home so special. The next picture is part of a series called 'Earth Mothers', she is a mistress of the sea. The landscape is called 'Uluru Dreaming', my interpretation of a dream that husband had.
