"Sanctuary" is a meditation on the power of quiet observation. I've always been drawn to the koala, not just for its undeniable charm, but for what it represents—a profound sense of being centered, of finding peace in a single, well-chosen place. They are creatures of stillness, of slow, deliberate movements, and of deep connection to their own unique world.

"Sanctuary" isn't just a painting of an animal; it's a reminder to all of us to seek out our own personal eucalyptus tree—the place, the moment, the feeling where we can simply be. It's a tribute to the wisdom of slowing down and the strength found in peaceful observation. I hope it brings a sense of tranquility and reflection to its new home.
