Front Cover of WILD at HEART nature cards
This concept came to me during the artist residency at Hand Bent Banana which is located in the leafy surrounds of Tallebudgera Valley. Everyday I was there I would spend time walking, quietly observing, listening, feeling textures of bark, leaves, collecting seeds, feathers or laying under a tree feeling the breeze and slowing right down. I was experiencing the calming and restorative benefits of nature. As I was experimenting and creating I gathered up different ways of connecting to nature. Early in 2025 I shared these ideas with my artistically talented friend Maureen Hansen asking her if she would be interested in doing the illustration.
Luckily she was keen to collaborate and we now have a result we can share with you - WILD at HEART nature card decks!!
