Art print of an original painting 'Golden Grevilleas' by Helen Ansell. 'This painting came about as the basis for the design for a mural I did for Morawa Senior High School earlier this year. Being the town of Morawa’s floral emblem and a flower I have never painted (nor ever seen painted before) I love to be able to celebrate our local flora in this way as well as to educate both myself and the public that see my work about the many varieties of native flowers we have in Western Australia – ...

Art print of an original painting 'Sturt Peas and Zebra Finches' by Helen Ansell. “The top end of Australia is a harsh yet stunningly beautiful environment. I have screeched my car brakes to stop and take photos of bright red Sturt Peas growing in the wild – yet sometimes these beauties commonly grow in the gutters and town roadside verges! I love the colour combination of the dark red soil (Pindan) the purple and green Mulla Mullas, red Sturt Peas and clear blue skies. Zebra Finches are tiny...

Art print of an original painting 'Major Mitchells amongst the Macrocarpa' by Helen Ansell.

Numbers have declined as their habitat has been cleared. This branch of cockatoos, Lo...

Art print of an original painting 'Bush Banksias' by Helen Ansell. 'There are over 173 varieties of banksias in the world and over 60 of them occur naturally in Western Australia. When I returned from living in the UK for three years, it was the banksia plant with all its large, wild and dramatic shapes of leaves, flowers and pods that really drew my attention in wanting to paint them. And they have been one of my favourite flowers to paint ever since. In this painting, I deliberately chose t...
