NATURE brings INSPIRATION!

Nature always inspires the creative mind.......
Since returning from Bali with a fresh mind and with Spring now here....I've pulled out the brushes and started on a new piece.It's a long way off finished.......but it's a start.




You can't beat fresh Spring flowers to influence your choice of paint!



I say goodbye to the "Little Tibetan Girl". She was sold when I was away in Bali.There was a huge interest in this art piece which made me feel great. Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback!
It motivates me to keep painting.

PS: To my husband John:
"Thank you for always believing in me and boosting me up when I need it!!
You keep me and my brushes confident!" Ali.O

Have fun girls!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOSS!!!!!!!

AUGUST: 2006 - 2012
HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY MOSS!
6 Years ago MOSS opened its doors in Barwon Heads as Moss Industry florist & gifts in partnership with my sister Danielle.
After 5 years of trading as a florist we wanted a life change and so 
Moss Industry branched out as a freelance weddings & events business & MOSS GROTTO was launched as a new homewares store and more.............

The years have flown and I continue to enjoy every minute of the ride!
Thank you to everyone that continues to support MOSS GROTTO!
