Hello,
Thanks so much for visiting my shop! Really great to have you here.
I am currently on holidays and will begin processing orders again on 28th Jan, hence the longer than usual dispatch times.
Please note that although I usually ship worldwide, changes with postal services due to the current pandemic have made shipping overseas prohibitively expensive and slow, so I have removed the options from my listings. If you would still like to ship overseas, please message me to organise.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Happy browsing!

5 out of 5 starsThis is so lovely! The detail is amazing. I bought this as a first Christmas present for my new great nephew and I know his Mum is going to love it. I chose a simple white frame and mat and it looks so good all together (sorry its crooked, that was me being so excited to do a test frame).

Artist at work
How I started and why, plus, what is a gumdot?
How I started and why:
I was on maternity leave after having my second baby, and I started drawing as a form of mindfulness to help with anxiety. I illustrated a few pieces for friends and family, and then began getting requests from them for artwork that they could give to their friends. After a while I decided to start the business and with word of mouth, and social media, it grew from there.
I love all animals and plants, especially native Australian species, as they are beautiful, unique and remind me of home. I do not want to see them disappear through extinction, and this passion has driven me through my career at Perth Zoo and also my business with gumdots. Education is an essential part of conservation, as people protect what they know and love, and through my drawings (and associated information that I provide), I want to spark a love of these species in any person that I can.
What is a gumdot?:
Well, at first I really had no idea what I wanted to call my business, but I didn’t want the absence of a perfect name to hold me back from starting, so I just dived in! All I knew is that I wanted to create a new word because being unique and authentic is so important to me.
I wanted the word to be inspired by both my artwork subjects and the style of my drawing. My deep love of eucalyptus is where ‘gum’ originated, and my frequent use of dots in my drawings accounts for the other half! Most of my drawings have a gum blossom somewhere, and I always ‘dot’ their pollen on. These are what I call ‘gumdots’.
