Why Collect Small Original Artworks?

Beautiful hand-painted small works in water-based mediums and gouache offer an intimate experience that feels both timeless and personal. In each brushstroke, there is a quiet recognition of the divine feminine spirit. These small paintings become touchstones for those who value the nuance and subtlety of the female form, for those who seek art that speaks of power expressed softly, in gestures and glances rather than in shouts.

Why Collect Small Original Artworks?

There is something profoundly special about living with original art. Small works invite close looking. They draw the viewer in, asking them to pause and connect. Each piece is a unique conversation, no two are alike. They capture the sensation of pigment on paper or the way the light catches on subtle texture of the brushwork. Original paintings bring with them an aura of authenticity. I've painted these little works to express the energy of their creation and my personal connection to each work.

For collectors, these small works offer immense value. Their size means they can be rearranged from bedside table to home office, from gallery wall to the perfect, unexpected nook. They become little talismans, mementos of quiet power, tokens of self-reflection or reminders of personal growth.

Botanical Watercolours and the Divine Feminine

For the past year, I've explored the themes of the divine feminine, quiet power and inner strength which are embodied naturally in the Australian native flora growing around the Northern Rivers where I live. The interplay of bold forms and gentle colour alludes to resilience within softness, structure within their beauty. I think everyone responds to these powerful motifs. Drawn to both the female and native botanical forms, I find new appreciation in the graceful lines and contemplative spaces carved by the brush.

I love that art is both a pleasure and a meaningful investment. I've always believed that a painted small work makes for a loving gift, personal, lasting and deeply thoughtful. It says, “I see your spirit, I value your journey,” in a way that few other objects can.

Presenting Small Paintings: Ideas and Inspiration

• Group them in twos, threes or fours for a gallery effect on a favourite wall.  
• Place a single small painting in a niche, on a shelf or as a focal point in a reading corner.
• Use a collection of these works to tell a visual story, changing pieces throughout the year to suit your mood or the season.
• Consider custom framing. Floating a small work in a wide mat or deep frame gives it space to breathe and a sense of presence in your space.

Small artworks have the power to transform a space not through scale, but through intimacy. They offer moments of connection and reflection, touching the lives of those who experience them—whether gifted or chosen for oneself. Owning an original brings warmth, authenticity, and a daily reminder of beauty, strength and quiet power.

If you love to fill your home with local Australian art that feels both personal and profound, these hand-painted small works are more than decoration, they are a gentle invitation to pause, reflect and find inspiration and joy. The little Spiritual Divine paintings on watercolour paper celebrate the enduring essence of the feminine spirit.
