Christmas

This artwork features Christmas beetles, wattle blossoms, and a light blue background.

Light blue evokes the vibrant waters of the Australian summer.

Wattle is Australia’s national floral emblem, blooming around mid-year, while Christmas beetles emerge only during the summer around December.

Because these two Australian icons never meet in the real world, this piece reimagines nature by bringing them together in a single artwork.
