ABOUT

WELCOME TO FIG HILL FARM

Our beautiful little farm is situated in the rolling hills of Glamorgan Vale, Queensland. A Moreton Bay Fig tree is perched on the highest hill overlooking the property. The view from under the tree is breath-taking. Standing under the tree, in awe of creation, reminds me of the magnitude of God's goodness and love for us. His hand is over all. What a blessing it is to live and work in this wildly rugged, diverse, awe-inspiring, stunning country we call home!

As a rural Australian artist I want to cherish the wonderful land we have been given that we are so much a part of. I want my art to be used to worship our Creator and to also create a deeper connection with our country and with each other.

A few years back I noticed so many beautiful Australian native florals and animals appearing on art and homewares in the big stores like Kmart and Target. But then when I checked where they had been made it was always overseas. It felt wrong somehow. We have SO MANY talented, hardworking, Australians producing top quality products here at home. We need to give them a fair go! I wanted to use my art to work together with other Australian businesses to bring you beautiful, quality products for your home that celebrate our amazing country, are easily accessible, and are as affordable as possible- while still ensuring that our makers are provided for and our land is being cared for.

I wanted to make it easy for you to join in and support small Australian business instead of big stores when it comes to filling your home with bush-inspired homewares and décor.

My art and products not only celebrate Australia, but are made in harmony with the land and it’s people. There is no better way to cheer on our country than by being ethically Australian made, top quality, by supporting the farmer and working in unity with other Australian businesses.

Love our land. Love our animals. Love our people.

Love. REPEAT.

May my art deeply move you and help you form a deeper connection with the beauty of our rich and rugged land, it’s animals and it’s people.

 

love, helen

ABOUT ME

I’m an Australian artist living in rural Queensland.

My style is a little bit farmhouse, a little bit rustic and a lot inspired by everyday Australian country life and the small moments we celebrate living on the land.

A kookaburra’s laugh. A farm kid running through the long grass. A gum tree in full bloom. The cheeky heifer that jumped the fence again.

There’s an irresistible romance of the outback as the light of the sunset filters through the dust and the smell of campfire smoke. The land and it’s beauty and charm is so much a part of who we are. I want to bring that country charm from the wide open spaces into your home. I want to use what I have to worship the Creator of this splendour and to connect deeply to what we have been given.

WHAT I STRIVE TO BE:

Be true. I believe that the things we surround ourselves with should reflect our true values and tell a story of what’s important to us. For me this is my faith, family & farm.

Be kind. You matter to me! It means so much to me that you’re here and I always want to be there for you, too. I’m always good for a yarn so don’t be afraid to drop me a line. The words we speak can build up or tear down. I want to speak life!

Be top notch. I’m not interested in cheap and dodgy. I’m all about quality that you can love for a lifetime and passed on to your grandchildren. It’s important to choose safe and organic products where possible. That’s what you’ll find in my store.

Be ethical. I do my very best to make sure the products I offer are produced in an ethical way by caring for the land, supporting the farmer and making sure everyone involved in the process is paid fairly and cared for at work.

Be Aussie! There’s no better way to show our love and appreciation for this great country than by supporting Australian made businesses. The amazing companies I work with are Australian and endeavour to source Australian products and materials where possible.
