The Arafura Mermaid is an image that crosses many cultures. She is the alluring female spirit in many mythologies and I have been drawn to this imagery whilst living by the mythical Arafura Sea here in the Tropics.
The banner can be used outside for special occasions or embellish an interior space.

While staying at my mum’s place, I was feeding a collection of birds in a Jacaranda tree, of which the Loorikeets were permanent residents. I would have my breakfast with them daily and study their appearance and quirky behaviours.

Fishing is often more about getting away from it all and being amidst the natural environment. For a time you are released from your own reality… so it’s not all about the catch!
