“Guided by Love”
This heartfelt painting depicts a tender moment between a mother elephant and her baby, their trunks entwined in a gesture of connection, care, and trust. A symbol of maternal strength and unbreakable bonds, this piece celebrates the gentle giants of the animal world and the universal language of love.

“Bad Hair Day”
In this lighthearted scene, two cows share a laugh at their highland friend’s expense, playfully suggesting he needs a haircut. With his iconic shaggy fringe in full flair, the highland cow stands unfazed—proof that true style doesn’t follow the herd.

“Cheeky Giraffe”
This playful painting captures a giraffe mid-moment, sticking its tongue out with character and charm. A lighthearted reminder of the unique personalities found in the animal kingdom.

This quirky piece from Kristy’s Selfie Series imagines a group of teenagers as frogs pulling exaggerated faces in a classic selfie pose. Inspired by the playful absurdity of youth and social media culture, the work captures the awkward charm and humour of teen identity in transformation.

 This painting drew me in as it depicts a touching moment between a parent and child dingo, showing affection and connection."

"This was inspired by a licensed photo, that I paid for"

"This painting was created with the idea that if an object were thrown at it, the birds would scatter—capturing a moment of frozen motion, as if time paused just before the chaos."

This piece is part of Kristy's 'Selfie Series,' painted a few years ago during a time when her eldest child and their friends were caught up in the selfie craze.
