Alannah paints your baby's name and date of birth into a custom Aboriginal dot artwork — then sends it to you with paints so your whole family can add their own hand and foot prints
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
Alannah Brown is an Aboriginal artist based in New South Wales, Australia, creating original paintings, detailed dot artwork, digital art and personalised commissions. Her work is shaped by family, story and connection — with original artworks and custom commissions available to customers throughout NSW and Australia.
Original Hand-Painted
Alannah hand-paints your baby's full name and date of birth into a one-of-a-kind Aboriginal dot artwork — then ships it to you with non-toxic paints so your whole family can press their own hands and feet directly onto the painting. Your marks. Your moment. Yours forever.
How it works
Share your baby's full name and date of birth — Alannah hand-letters them into the artwork just for you.
She hand-paints a unique Aboriginal dot artwork with your details woven in — no two are ever the same.
Your painting arrives with non-toxic paints included. Press your hands, your partner's, and your little one's feet — whenever you're ready, at your own pace.
I'm Alannah Brown — a proud Aboriginal woman and digital artist whose work is an act of remembrance, connection, and love for Country.
On my mother's side, I belong to the Biripi Mob from Taree (Dumas family) and the Barkindji Mob from Mildura (O'Donnells). On my father's side, I carry the Country of the Yuin Nation — Walbunja people — and the Walwun Mob from Gulargambone.
I work in two mediums — original hand-painted dot paintings on canvas and digital artworks — and every piece, regardless of medium, begins with story. With memory passed down through family. With the shapes and colours of the landscapes that made my people. Customers can commission either: a physical painting you can touch and frame, or a high-resolution digital file ready to print anywhere in the world.
Alongside my art practice, I co-founded Brown Sugar & More — a 100% Aboriginal-owned family homeware business bringing Indigenous-inspired design into everyday living. The same values run through everything we make: story, Country, and connection.
"When I create, I'm not just making something beautiful. I'm keeping story alive. Every dot, every colour, every line is a word in a language older than writing."— Alannah Brown, Artist
Each piece carries a story, a place, and a purpose. Art that is alive.
"All artworks are created by Alannah Brown, a proud Aboriginal woman. Each piece carries story and connection to Country — made with cultural knowledge, respect, and love for the communities they represent."
— Alannah Brown, AlannahBrownArtsAlannah creates in two mediums — choose the one that feels right for you. Every commission includes your family's name and date of birth woven into the design, and is personalised with your handprints and footprints. No two are ever the same.
Perfect for new babies, first birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just because your family deserves something made with love and Country.
Alannah made a painting with our handprints for our daughter's first birthday. She cried when she saw it. We all did. It's the most meaningful thing in our home.
We got one made with our newborn son's tiny handprints alongside ours. Alannah captured something we couldn't put into words. Absolutely priceless.
Limited edition prints, digital downloads, and canvas art — each piece accompanied by its story.
