Artwork Description
"Golden Husk" was inspired by the harvest season in the Australian countryside, particularly the landscape around Temora. The glowing seed heads, golden straw, and vast skies reflect the beauty of this time of year—when the land is alive with activity. While the scene looks peaceful, it’s a subtle reminder of the long, hard days and the resilience needed to bring in the crop. The warm tones and rich textures in the painting mirror the glow of the paddocks, but also the sweat, effort, and dedication behind the harvest. This piece celebrates both the serenity and the unspoken challenges of rural life, inviting the viewer to connect with the land, the seasons, and the strength it takes to work with nature.

All of my original art and art reprints are signed with an ‘S’ logo. This logo was the Storey family brand used by my Great-Grandfather, on what is now my Grandparent's cattle farm. The farm has been in the Storey name since the mid-19th century however the brand was only in use from roughly the 1930s to the 1960s on sheep. After shearing, the brand was dipped in dye and pressed to the sheep’s hind quarter. It would stain the wool for quite some time and be used to identify the sheep if they strayed.
I have immense pride in my origin, and I love that I am able to attach a piece of family history to the art that I create. I strongly believe that when purchasing art, it is incredibly important to feel a strong sense of passion from the artist through the painting. I hope that combining my lineage with my art expresses this connection.
