This artwork is a joyful tribute to New Farm Park, where cute, quirky characters come to life enjoying the magic this iconic Brisbane spot has to offer. Inspired by the park’s vibrant flora and fauna, and the many beautiful moments I’ve spent there, I wanted to capture the spirit of connection, joy, and community. Whether it’s relaxing under the Jacaranda tree, discovering stories in the library, smelling the roses, enjoying an ice cream in the sun, buying delicious food at the markets, or watching a show at the Powerhouse, there’s always something to share.
I’ve also found inspiration in quietly observing others enjoying their own slice of life, laughing, playing, picnicking, exploring. This piece celebrates connection, curiosity, and the beauty of sharing simple pleasures. Day and night, this place is rich with energy, colour, and smiles. I hope this painting brings one to many faces, too.
