About this object
Acrylic on paper featuring dark green palm leaves and red sea shells on a white background.
Designs like Palm Leaves and Shells move away from Australian and New Zealand specific imagery and demonstrate the designer's desire to include more generic motifs and imagery in her work. The likely reason for this move was to create appeal to a wide post-war market including the American leisurewear market.
