ARTWORK MEANING
In "Eucalypt Protea: Guardians of Malabar Headland," my artistic journey is deeply entwined with the rich tapestry of history and culture that envelops this cherished land. Inspired by Holly Ringdal's evocative work, "Lost Flowers of Alice Hart," and my walks through the Malabar Headland National Park, I have discovered a profound connection between the native flowers depicted in this artwork—Protea and Eucalypt—and the traditional land of the Bidjigal and Gadigal People.
The very soil upon which this national park now stands holds the stories and footprints of generations past. Malabar Headland is not merely a pristine natural landscape; it is a place of great significance—a Bora Ground—within Aboriginal culture. The term "Bora" resonates throughout Eastern Australia, signifying an initiation site or ceremony, where the spirits of ancestors intertwine with the living, where knowledge is passed down, and where the timeless rhythms of existence are celebrated.
It is within this hallowed ground that I uncovered the essence of "Eucalypt Protea." These indigenous flowers, Protea and Eucalypt, serve as more than just botanical subjects; they are emissaries of history, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Bidjigal and Gadigal People. They are the silent witnesses to the stories of survival and strength, stories that echo through the ages and reverberate within the petals of these blooms.
The "Wheel of Fire," concealed within the heart of this artwork, symbolizes the colors of fate and the fiery determination to overcome adversity. This symbolism is a tribute to the courage of those who have faced the darkness of domestic violence and abuse, a plight that continues to affect Aboriginal communities.
Through "Eucalypt Protea: Guardians of Malabar Headland," I endeavor to bridge the past and the present, to honor the legacy of the land's traditional custodians, and to shed light on the urgent need to address issues like domestic violence within these communities. May this artwork serve as a reminder of the enduring strength of the Aboriginal people, the significance of this land, and the shared responsibility we all bear to protect and preserve its cultural heritage and natural beauty.

About this Artwork
For many, art is a beautiful decoration. For me, it's a lifeline. Growing up in Siberia, the ocean was a distant dream—a symbol of freedom I yearned for. That dream became my reality when I moved to Australia, but the journey was not without its challenges. Like many women, I've had to navigate the choppy waters of separation and rebuild my life from the ground up.
My art is a direct reflection of this process. Each crystal reef I assemble, each wave I pour with resin, is an act of piecing myself back together. The real crystals and authentic sands I use are more than just materials; they are symbols of strength, resilience, and the grounding power of nature.
Both canvas and paper prints deliver vibrant colours and
museum-quality finish — the choice really depends on your style and how you’d
like to display your artwork.
Choose canvas if you want:
- A ready-to-hang piece with no extra framing needed
- A glass-free finish with rich, reflection-free colour
- A lightweight option that’s easier to hang, even in larger sizes
- A painterly look that feels close to an original artwork — perfect for
statement pieces
Canvas prints can come framed and ready to hang, or with an extra border so your framer can stretch them.
Choose paper if you want:
- Ultra-crisp detail and a fine, velvety texture — great for smaller or highly detailed
pieces - The freedom to customise your frame style with or without a mat
- A more traditional framed look, with protective glass or perspex
Paper prints are supplied unframed and will need to be
framed before display.
In short — canvas is ideal for large, ready-to-hang
statement pieces, while paper is perfect for smaller, detail-rich artworks and
custom framing flexibility.
No — your artwork won’t fade. We use Giclée-quality pigment
inks on premium canvas and museum-grade paper, designed to stay vibrant and
fade-resistant for a lifetime.
If You are choosing Canvas Print and You are from US, Australia or NZ - then
Yes — your canvas will be stretched and ready to hang . these canvases are designed for quick and easy hanging. You can also choose from our professional framing options (Oak, White,
or Black) to have your artwork arrive ready to display.
Most artworks can be easily hung with standard picture
hooks. For smaller pieces under 100cm wide, you can also use no-drill,
damage-free options like 3M Picture Hanging Strips.
For Extra Large artworks (160x120cm+ and 140x140cm), we recommend
using two installation points. Each frame comes with a D-ring on both sides —
simply hang these directly onto sturdy wall hooks. For safety, do not use
hanging wire, as these large pieces are too heavy.

About the Artist
For many, art is a beautiful decoration. For me, it's a lifeline. Growing up in Siberia, the ocean was a distant dream—a symbol of freedom I yearned for. That dream became my reality when I moved to Australia, but the journey was not without its challenges. Like many women, I've had to navigate the choppy waters of separation and rebuild my life from the ground up.
My work speaks to a deeper truth: that healing and beauty can emerge from struggle. It's a tribute to the quiet strength of mothers and the defiant spirit of women who refuse to be defined by their past. When you invest in my art, you're not just buying a piece of the ocean—you’re acquiring a piece of this journey, a tangible reminder that we can always create a new world of peace and beauty, one piece at a time.
