Every species has a story—and every artist tells it a little differently.

One of the things I’m most excited about for The Creative Conservation Club is the Creator Membership.

As much as I love painting Australia’s threatened species, I also love helping others connect with them through creativity.

Each month, Creator Members will receive an exclusive line drawing inspired by the featured species, along with a colour palette guide to help bring it to life in their own unique way.

I’ve been busy working on the first prototype colour swatch card for our September species, the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot.

For most of my artistic journey, I’ve painted almost exclusively with Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolours. They’re the paints I learned with, the paints I’ve created countless artworks with, and the paints I know many artists already have at home.

More recently, I’ve started exploring Daniel Smith and Schmincke watercolours, discovering new colours, pigments, and possibilities along the way. I certainly don’t own every colour in those ranges yet, but I wanted to include suggestions across all three brands so members can work with the paints they already have available.

My hope is that these guides make it easy for artists of all experience levels to join in, learn about Australia’s threatened species, and create something meaningful.

I love the idea that one little bird can inspire dozens of different paintings, interpretations, and creative journeys.

Because conservation starts with connection.

And sometimes connection begins with a paintbrush.

💚 If you’re a painter, I’d love to know—what watercolour paints do you use most often?

One of my favourite parts of the creative process is watching a species slowly come to life on paper.

Every brushstroke is an opportunity to tell a story and help create a connection with a species that many people have never heard of before.

This painting will become the very first artwork featured in Letters from the Wild.

As I paint, I’m thinking about the incredible journey of the Orange-bellied Parrot, the challenges it faces, and the people working tirelessly to protect it.

If even one person learns about this remarkable bird because of this painting, then every brushstroke is worth it.

💚 Together we can create awareness through creativity.

The Orange-bellied Parrot is one of Australia’s most endangered birds.

Tiny, beautiful, and incredibly resilient, these remarkable parrots migrate between Tasmania and mainland Australia each year.

Sadly, they’re also fighting for survival.

When I began planning The Creative Conservation Club, I knew I wanted our first featured species to have a story that inspired hope, resilience, and action.

The Orange-bellied Parrot felt like the perfect choice.

Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more about this incredible bird, the artwork I’m creating, and the conservation efforts helping to protect it.

🦜 Have you ever heard of the Orange-bellied Parrot?

Every extinct species was once common enough that people assumed it would always be here.

That’s one of the reasons I created The Creative Conservation Club.

I want to use art to tell stories, create connections, and help raise awareness about the incredible species we still have time to protect.

Because what we notice, we begin to love.

And what we love, we’re more likely to protect.

Through Letters from the Wild, I’ll be sharing the stories of Australia’s critically endangered, endangered, and threatened species through art, education, and conservation.

Together, we can learn, create, and help protect the natural world—one species at a time.

For about a year, an idea has been quietly sitting in the back of my mind.

I spent countless hours building it, planning it, and dreaming about what it could become. But something still didn’t feel quite right. I wanted there to be a deeper purpose behind my art—something that could inspire connection, curiosity, and positive change.

So I kept refining the idea, researching, learning, and exploring what truly mattered to me. Then one day, everything clicked.

The fear that held me back last year was replaced by the same excitement I felt when the idea first sparked.

And this time, I’m following through.

I’m inviting you behind the scenes as I create something I’ve poured my heart into.

✨ Introducing The Creative Conservation Club ✨

A monthly club that combines art, education, and conservation to shine a spotlight on Australia’s threatened species.

Together we’ll learn about incredible wildlife, collect meaningful art, support conservation, and create awareness—one story at a time.

I’m nervous.

I’m excited.

And I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

💚 Follow along and join me as The Creative Conservation Club comes to life.

Comment with a 🦜 if you’re excited to see what’s coming.

Wow Maffra!! We are so grateful for the support, our second Maffra workshop is almost at capacity! As two creatives who love sharing the joy of watercolour with others we made the decision early on to keep our workshops small so that we can provide each participant with the attention they deserve! If you would like to join our workshop head to our website to book https://www.mojaniartandcraft.com.au/workshops/p/proteaworkshop-d4x53

Love my early morning painting sessions when the boys are still sleeping 💤 . I go out in the dark with my hot coffee and get some much needed “mental health reset” painting time in. Practicing different watercolours techniques and exploring colours! We have our protea watercolour workshop coming up at the end of the month with only 3 spots left. Booking essential - https://www.mojaniartandcraft.com.au/workshops/p/proteaworkshop-d4x53
