Golden Wattle – original Australian botanical art
$159.00
The Golden Wattle is my favourite piece in this collection of original artworks. Initially, I thought this piece was a disappointment and it sat untouched for months in my studio until I finally made the effort of mounting it.

You will not regret the investment in an original art piece that, with care, will last for centuries.

Each piece is handmade, and an original exclusively one-of-a-kind piece.
