🍯🌹 HONEY & THORNS

Sweet, not tame.

A little glimpse of one of my newest paintings, where honey, roses and dragons tell a story about beauty, change and the battles we carry within us.

The honey represents all the beautiful things life can bring — love, femininity, motherhood, success and memories. But honey is sticky… and the dragons begin to gather.

A once-perfect rose is beginning to decay, yet it remains magnificent — a reminder that beauty doesn’t disappear when we change. We become something else.

And the dragons? They aren't attacking her. They belong to her. They are the fears, wounds and battles that have become part of who she is — perhaps even protecting her.

Come and see Honey & Thorns and discover the rest of the story for yourself this weekend at Studio Sabine Open Studio & Art Trail. 🎨✨

📅 Saturday 12 & Sunday 13 September
⏰ 10am–4pm
📍 Studio Sabine, Woorim – Bribie Island

Come curious… there’s more beneath the surface. 🍯🐉🌹

A New Portrait Begins
PART 5 – Hidden Symbols
The details are where I love to hide the stories.
A falconer's glove appears, while delicate origami birds begin to emerge from the dress. They represent transformation, hope and Trin's fascination with Japan, while also suggesting the fragile threads that connect us to the natural world.
I always enjoy adding little discoveries that may not be noticed the first time someone looks at a painting.
The black and white stripes—my signature motif—make their appearance in an unexpected way, transformed into an origami bird. It's my quiet way of connecting the sitter and the artist within the same story.
Behind the scenes, Trin's dedication to rescuing orphaned wildlife has inspired many of the hidden elements that are gradually finding their place throughout the painting. If you look closely you might see a slight indication off a possums tail on top of the red dress, a kangaroo to the right hopping off the canvas, a bat emerging from the dress and an Tasmanian devil disappearing behind the origami birds!
Every layer adds another piece to the narrative.

A New Portrait Begins
Part 4 – The Eyes Tell the Story
For me, everything changes once the eyes come to life.
It's the moment a painting stops being simply paint on canvas and starts becoming a conversation. From here, every detail has to support the expression and the story unfolding around it.
Slowly the portrait is beginning to reveal the balance between strength, kindness and curiosity that I see in Trin.
The journey is far from over, but the painting is finally looking back.
Check it out for yourself! I am opening my studio for the Bribie Art Trail on September 12 and 13th .
Be sure to visit Studio Sabine (former studio Alice) 12 Bracken street, Woorim. 10 am – 4 pm!

✨ Thrilled to announce that I have been selected as a finalist in the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award! ✨
I'm especially excited because the selected work, Sabine Decoded, is quite different from anything I've created before. It's an experimental self-portrait that blurs the line between traditional painting and digital storytelling.
At first glance, a QR code conceals my face, revealing only my red eyes, crimson lips, and my signature black-and-white stripes. But the QR code isn't there to hide me—it invites you in.
📱 Scan the code and the painting comes alive. Or click link below!
www.sabine.net.au/sabine
It unlocks a video that follows my creative journey through artworks, inspirations, setbacks, and successes, inviting viewers to step beyond the canvas and into the story behind my art.
Selected from a pool of over 600 entries
The finalist exhibition is on display across Lethbridge Gallery and Latrobe Art Space from the 7th August - 25th August

Reflections of Rachel Ruysch
Did you know that this artist made more money than Rembrandt? – watch the video and you will see!
This work revisits Rachel Ruysch through reflection—where what is incomplete becomes whole.
A half skull finds its missing side in the mirror, quietly echoing mortality, while a butterfly rests within its eye—holding both fragility and transformation. The rocking horse, split in two, becomes a strange double when reflected, hinting at a life lived in parallel—artist and mother, repetition and care.
The mirror does not just complete the image, it reveals what is often unseen: the doubling of roles, of time, of self.
Everything exists between what is there… and what is felt.
Three more days of the' Old Masters Revisited' exhibition which offers a fresh and engaging perspective on classical art, blending technical skill with contemporary creativity. The exhibition promises to delight art lovers and newcomers alike, and is not to be missed!
