Another little sweetheart piece completed recently.

I titled this one, “How Can I Keep From Singing”, which is how I feel painting and drawing flowers. I guess how I feel really painting/drawing a lot of things from the natural world 😊 but flowers are definitely a particular source of joy and endless wonder 💚💐

This piece a couple of her friends are available up in my online shop now. Just follow the link to have a look.

Hope you enjoy and have a happy weekend x

I have been having the absolute best time in the studio lately with a whole new series of work pouring out 💜 Multiple actually…

There’s a whole lot of blossoms going on… and birds… and butterflies!

Clearly all still very much in the botanical realms 😁🌿🌷🦋 My inspiration hasn’t shifted very far I suppose, but new expressions unfolding ✨ Here’s a little sneak preview…

I think it also has more than a little bit to do with some of my materials inspiring me too - these shimmery and deeply pigmented Ruco watercolours are very magical 🥰 Since adding a few more fun colours to my palette over the past month I’ve been “playing” more and more again - which is sooo wonderful for the spirit, but is also an important part of “working”. It is often exactly what leads to new ideas, breakthroughs and the evolution of different works or techniques as well 😊✨

Hey there 👋😊 I am Lara-Jane…

Artist, mum, singing/songwriting, meditation-loving, mystic forest-fairy and creativity enthusiast. Welcome to my page!

I am here to offer beauty, inspiration, and hope - not just through my artwork, but as a way of being in the world. And that’s not to gloss over the fact that life is full of challenges or pain or even despair, but actually BECAUSE of these realities. Because life can be HARD, as well as spectacular, then things like beauty, love, inspiration and hope, to me, are integral elements to cultivate within ourselves, and potentially share with the world around us if we can.

So my creative practice as an artist is an offering of my heart: an embodied expression of joy, wonder, soulful connection, and the deep, often wordless truths I carry.

Painting is one of my happiest creative places. Playing with clay and songwriting too... and many more things of course, but they are some of the big ones.

I love sharing my artistic creations with the world, and I also find immense joy in igniting the creativity of others. In reminding others, through artwork or simply by being, that there is a sacred garden of creativity within ALL of us… within YOU... that is singing YOUR name… ALWAYS.

And it is not calling you to try and express the same way as anyone else, but to bring forth simply what YOU have to bring forth, in your own ways, from your own heart 💜 Inviting you, without end, to keep on moving in the direction of that which lights you up and makes you feel more alive, more full of joy, more full of peace, of love, of inspiration and wholeness.

If you’re reading this I’m so glad and I’m sending warm blessings to your creative heart 🤗💕

Please feel free to share with me in the comments. I’m always to delighted to connect and excited to hear what creative pursuits are lighting you up too 💜✨🎨🌿

These lovely petite tumblers have flown the nest and are on their way to their new home 😊🙏

That’s just about all my tumblers now SOLD OUT from our pottery sale in the gallery. I have one last one left… a few more different bowls after restocking the table and still some mugs available, either as sets or individual pieces. I will try and post them all up in my stories over the coming days.

We are having a special event this Friday evening 23rd January at the gallery… we will be open extended hours, so ALL DAY from 10am to 6pm 🤗✨🎨 Making it hopefully a little more convenient for some of those who have wanted to come by and view the exhibition, but it hasn’t fit in so easily with work hours. Please feel free to pop by and say hello and enjoy a “happy hour” glass of bubbles with us or a nibble as we say a big THANK YOU everyone for all the support and appreciation of our joint exhibition “Earth Connections” at Dianne McInerney Art Gallery, Noosaville.

The exhibition is still open to view 10am - 1pm, Tuesday through Saturday each week, until our final day on Friday 30th January.

But if you can get there sooner then go for it! We will have a few extra goodies out for viewing and purchasing on Friday this week for you, so if you’ve already been in to visit the exhibition and hopefully you will have fun seeing the pieces you already enjoyed, along with a few little things you hadn’t seen previously 😊

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to send me a msg or contact Gillian Smith @thecreativepilgrim or Dianne McInerney @diannemcinerneyartist and we can help you with any queries you have.

And in the meantime wishing you a wonderful week from all of us! 🌻

Two sweet sketches/paintings just for fun 😊🌿

One (the yellow ochre) I made on a play date with my fellow creative and magical friend Lisa @creativealchemi ✨ while we sat out in a tropical garden, back before Christmas. And the other (with the very subtle brown toned background), I had sketched mostly while there looking out on the topical plants and chatting together. Then added some colours to it in the studio just the other day, trying out my sample of the handmade watercolour, “orchard”, from @rucopaints 🎨 A beautiful gentle watercolour tone to play with.

And of course a bit of my Neocolor II water soluble crayons on the leaves and a touch of black Stabilo all pencil for a few tiny flashes of added definition and contrast. These two beloved mediums now a constant staple in many of my artworks, thanks to my dear friend Gillian @thecreativepilgrim - the queen of art supplies and experimentation! 🤗💜

Enjoy xx

“Remembering Wholeness”

I painted this painting, not as a picture of something so much as a kind of remembering.

The painting began in early 2025 and then rested for many moons… waiting for… something. Then in the second half of 2025, I came back to work on it after watching The Eternal Song - a powerful, poetic documentary that cracked my heart open and left me feeling even more connected to the earth… and to something deeper. Older. And… wiser… that lives within and around us.

For years I’ve had this sense that a lot of the time when I paint, it’s not just me making something. It’s more like I’m in relationship with the subject, listening, responding, receiving. Almost like the earth itself is whispering: “Here… this. Share this.”

This particular piece came through my hands and fingertips onto the canvas, as much as through my brushes, and as I painted, it felt like prayer. A transmission. Like I was offering healing to the earth, and even more so, like the earth was offering healing right back to me. A remembering of wholeness, shared in both directions.

The dragonfly feels like a carrier of that message. It’s hovering high above, as if we’re seeing the land through its eyes, in its full, wild, luminous beauty. The earth as it once was… or still is, beneath all the noise.

There are ridges and rivers, movement and breath, fine marks that remind me of sound waves or songlines. It’s a piece filled with blessing. And with longing. But mostly blessing. A remembering, and a prayer.

~

This piece has now found its home, but it’s still on view until 30 Jan at Dianne McInerney Art Gallery, as part of my joint exhibition, “Earth Connections”, with Gillian Smith @thecreativepilgrim

If you’re nearby and would love to experience the full collection in person, you’re warmly welcome and we’d love to see you 🥰🌿

SOLD 💜

Said goodbye to this beauty recently as it found its new owner and forever home.

I loved the way the glazes all came up on this piece when it emerged from the kiln. An absolute delight! All the soft purples… lavender + jacaranda blues… with mint green flowing beneath and around, and milky translucent layers of white over and under creating subtle variations in tone. A total colour treat.

Always a joy too when a piece finds its person 💕🙏

Grateful to spend a little time at the end of the day yesterday sitting on the ground out in my happy place under the trees. Enough time to do a little sketching and a bit of watercolour… but mostly taking the chance to just sit and reflect and be for a while. Always grateful for these pockets of time.

Sending some pockets of peace your way too as this big year draws nearer to its close 🥰

So it’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a song on here, but today I felt moved to share via the medium of music that has always been a very big part of my life. Both writing songs myself and playing the music of others has always been for me a powerful way to both express and metabolise emotions, and often just make more sense of the world and its happenings.

Today is my birthday, and sitting here today I have had such a mixture of feelings. Feelings of deep sadness and heartache at the loss of life and terrorism that took place in Australia yesterday and ongoing conflicts still taking place around the world… mixed with immense gratitude for the experiences I was immersed in yesterday where I had the opportunity to sit and listen in community to sacred story and wisdom from an indigenous elder visiting and sharing with us from Uluṟu 💚 …all these emotions mixed together with a deep sense of privilege for my 42 years of life and all that I have received in my living. Including family, community, love, a roof over my head and places to call home, abundance of opportunities, health, wealth and social privilege, safety, freedom, joy, hope and peace. Challenges and hardships to overcome too, but far more of all the above. Or at least it seems that way to me.

I am thinking about how I have a lot to celebrate and feel happy about, and in the very same moment there is a great deal to mourn and feel sobered by. And so I got out the guitar and sang songs for a while, as I have most of my life. And I felt drawn to sing this song among others. And to share it. Just a little abridged version here in this case… For the slight balm that it may be, and perhaps little bit of inspiration. Not my inspired words or music obviously, but the late John Lennon, and with credit also I understand to Yoko Ono.

And even though I was the one singing here, it’s interesting, as I sang, I really felt like I was listening to the words being sung to me, somehow… to feel, to think about, and to just receive the blessing of.

Anyway, I hope it blesses you too in some way ❤️

The first time I heard this song I cried, it was so beautiful and resonant. It still makes me tear up oftentimes as I listen to it 🥰 It’s by local singer songwriter Ziggy Alberts, and is called “Singing For Country”. It captures so much of the depth of feeling for me of my relationship with the land I call home and with the Earth as a whole. And while I know it will evolve all my life as I keep evolving, this relationship with Earth, there is such a richness of truth expressed in the emotion of this song that speaks for me and my heart, and I’m really grateful for that.

This artwork pictured is from my current exhibition, “Earth Connections”, with Gillian Smith @thecreativepilgrim 🥰 at Dianne McInerney Art gallery. I began drawing and painting it en plein air at the Botsnic Gardens in Cooroy, Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi country here on the Sunshine Coast... Later continuing my work on it back in the studio, adding more layers of colour, texture and detail via different media, while remembering the feeling of being immersed in the landscape and held in what feels like pure unconditional love to me.

I hope you enjoy spending a moment with it here. And with this beautiful song too 💜🙏
