“I have always had a passion to draw from a young age. Although my career choices moved me away from my first love, it was never far away. I am so excited to be painting again. I get lost in the beauty of God’s creation and find my voice through the paintbrush to give expression to the wonder of nature all around me. Life without art is without heart.”
— Luckshila

  • Twisted Gums at Manly Beach

    Manly is where the world's first surfing contest was held in 1964, making it one of Australia's most famous beaches.

    An unusual vantage point of the beach while peering through thr twisted gum trees that line the beach.

  • Ryde Bridge from the mangroves at Meadowbank

    This is the area we lived in for more than half our lives and brought up our boys. Many an evening stroll along the river banks, skimming rocks on the water, teaching them to ride their bikes.

    The bridge connected us with work, school & church.

    So wonderful to see many more young families making memories here every day.

    I have tried to capture the mangroves leaning towards the dreamy light, and the water movement on the Parramatta River.

  • Balmoral Beach

  • Spring at Snowy River National Park

    Hope you feel the cool crisp water made of melting snow, the lush green vegetation, the myriad of colours reflected in the water and the submerged rocks

  • Bronte Beach

    Bulky headlands to the north and south and clusters of underwater rocks make conditions challenging, especially for swimmers. The south headland shapes Bronte’s premium wave, but it breaks across rocks so it’s for confident board-riders only.

    Those same rocks create a sheltered natural pool while an ocean-fed lap pool tucked in beneath the south headland provides one of Sydney’s finest saltwater swim experiences. A wide grassy park behind the beach gives way to a wooded gully between rows of expensive houses on the opposing hillsides.

  • Casurina Beach, Jaffna Sri Lanka

    Famous for turquoise warm water, sugar like sand and the shade of the ancient Casurina trees on the beach (Australian Pine).

    I remember day trips to this beach as a young child with lunches packed and uncles, aunts and cousins joining us.

    My mother showed me how the leaves of the Casurina tree could be pulled apart and clipped back together.

    If only those ancient Casurina trees could talk, they might remember generations of our ancestors coming for a fun day out.

  • Blooming Jacarandas

    Jacaranda trees flowering in Kirribilli on MacDougall Street during Spring time in November.

    McDougall Street’s 30 mature jacarandas were a gift from the town of Grafton, and were planted in the 1930s as part of a beautification program started by Her Excellency Lady Gowrie. She wanted to ensure the approach to Admiralty House at Kirribilli was pleasing to visiting royals.

    Long before then, Sydney had fallen in love with Jacaranda mimosifolia, the South American tree that many people wrongly believe is native to Australia.

    In some cultures, if a jacaranda’s trumpet-shaped purple or lilac blossom lands on someone’s head, it means that person will be lucky. Jacarandas represent rebirth, wisdom, wealth and good luck.
