ABOUT THE ARTWORK
(Olinda, Dandenong Ranges)
2009
Pen and ink
28 x 23 cm
Tucked away in the Dandenong Ranges, not far from the township of Olinda, is a charming period cottage that houses the restaurant 'Coonara Springs'. The house sits on the main road and the gardens (designed by the renowned Edna Walling) slope down the hill. Sitting at the far end of the restaurant the diner is treated to the most glorious views of the gardens, the valley and the hills and mountains beyond. I was charmed by the building and its grounds the first time I visited and was compelled to capture it in pen and ink. The building and gardens have been renovated since then - revealing more of the architectural features but retaining the timeless charm that has long been part of Coonara Springs.

Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
