A Rainy Day of Painting in the Rainforest

The rainforest brings calm as we watch the summer rain and paint a portrait in the art studio. We reflect on our travels and settle back into our life on the farm. 🌱 Info about paintings for sale and our exhibition here! 🌱 Get our book here! Anastasia’s Instagram: Julia’s Instagram: We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined. Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
