Australian nature meets science and art
By Paula Peeters
New ‘Possums of Australia’ design collection
Yes I have a possum obsession!
Maybe you do too?
Recently I decided to illustrate all 27 species of possum and glider that live in Australia. I’ve loved these critters for a long time, perhaps because most of them live in forests, and I also love forests.
As a result I now present you with 8 different possum / glider designs. They are currently available via my Redbubble store, where you can purchase a range of clothing styles, posters, prints and other goodies adorned with these delightful beasties.
Organic Cotton Tea towels with these designs should be available in a few months.

A walk in the green room
Binna Burra, September 2021 The forest always gives so much. But I need to slow down, to observe, to open myself to its abundance, for this to happen. As I walk into the forest I see the different layers, shapes, colours of green that are the leaves, foliage,...
