Current project: Green man and Brown Mountain
Gracie's talented husband Leigh has just finished writing a story based on our nephew- Andrew Lincoln's heroic contribution to the stopping of logging on Brown Mountain in East Gippsland. Leigh, being an active conservationist, always finds time to write letters to prominent people reminding them to care for our planet. This true story has inspired him to write about it and to spread the word as to how ordinary people can do extra-ordinary things and help save our native flora and fauna.
Gracie is now in the process of working out appropriate images and in researching, learning lots about the shapes, colors, lines, patterns and habitats of our precious native
animals and bushland. Gracie hopes to bring the story to
visual life with her paintings!

Long footed Potoroo
Here is a photo of a couple of sweet Long footed Potoroos which are rare now due to the depradations of foxes and cats. They have been found to be living safely and undisturbed in Brown Mountain. Thanks to the active group of conservationists who were meticulous in their survey, mapping and photographing (with night cameras) work that brought this knowledge to the court and saved this species.
Brown mountain - East Gippsland, Vic
Here is a photo of one of the old growth forest trees. It is now saved for itself, for us, for all the countless creatures who depend on it for life, security, food, oxygen, and shelter, just to name a few!
Australian native animal bookmarks
Gracie has been happily working on a series of paintings of little native animals after a suggestion from her sister Irma who particularly liked the 'animals of Brown mountain' painting entered into the CYA competition . These little bookmarks have some of the Australian native animals that have been found on Brown Mountain in East Gippsland. Here is one: 'Pygmy Possum' for you to see.
