Banksia Serrata II | Original Artwork

Banksia Serrata II is an original artwork by Smith & Brooks. This coastal shrub can be spotted along beach landscapes from Queensland all the way into Victoria, with pockets of growth found as far south as Tasmania. Its distinctive serrated leaves create a unique outline and its intricate creamy yellow blooms add contrast to the woody brushlands that form along the foreshore.
