Combining botanical and horticultural knowledge with artistic skills Mali has contributed pen and ink drawings for Flora of Victoria, Flora of Australia, Mulleria and other scientific publications. By working closely with botanists, Mali has gained an understanding of the importance of scientific accuracy, the fundamentals of precise measurement and thorough depiction of detail. She teaches botanical illustration in association with the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, at private art groups and conducts workshops in Victoria, interstate and overseas.
Mali was awarded a Gold Medal by The Royal Horticultural Society London and an invited exhibitor to the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation USA.

Mali was the first Australian to receive the Focus On Nature Purchase Award by New York State Museum USA.

Mali has great interest working in the area of conservation and was proud to donate a painting for the charity auction ‘Name a New Species of Shrimp’ held by Australian Marine Conservation Society in association with Museum Victoria, Mali also contributes to ‘Art for Sharks’ with AMCS.
Mali has a keen interest for artistic interpretation of natural history themes in the Accurate Realism style, approaching her work with traditional techniques whilst developing a fresh contemporary look. Mali executes works on paper with the consummate skill of a dedicated artist as she combines her fascination for science and nature with an active desire to render works of art with beauty, character and scientific merit.
Mali abides with her sincere belief that “artists make science visible”.

Exceptional large desktop sculpture of two terns in flight above cresting waves 1935 by the acclaimed French animal sculptor Irénée Rochard (1906-1984).
Crisply cast in spelter with good detail (note the feathers and feet) and a bronze coloured finish, on an oval black marble plinth base.
Signed clearly ‘Rochard’. Excellent original condition. Note the two birds detach from the wave for delivery.
The ogee shaped hood above a shaped moulded cornice, having a square mitred door and two narrow side doors.
The long slender trunk with a matching long fielded panelled, moulded door, resting on a stylish deep ogee shaped base.
The off white circular 30 hour clock face having the original shaped hands.
The clock is yet to be restored, also the case is needing a good clean, polish and wax. A decorator may like to have this painted and highlighted. Could look great in a white, soft blue or green..
Considering the majority of 18th – 20th Century French furniture is so heavily carved. This is quite a rare find. Very desirable lines.
