Tropic like it’s hot
What’s hot and what’s not
on TropicTropic’s radar right now.
NANCY CREATIVE SPACE
The multi-talented Rachael Boon of Oaks
Kitchen & Garden has recently opened her
own art studio, Nancy Creative Space.
Alongside tending to the dining destination’s
edible garden, Rachael can be found painting
pots, murals and canvas works in her distinct
troppo-trippy style. You’ll find her work in
Succuliving, Koru Furniture & Homewares,
and until sold out, adorning the Devils
Thumb Distillery Wet Season Gin – which WHAT’S HOT WATCHING Schitts Creek, Breaking Bad,
Rachael and partner Ben Wallace also grew the
botanicals for.

melodies and honest storytelling shining
throughout. Red Earth Dirt is a Tropic office
favourite! To launch the album, Greta is on
the road this June and July as part of her triple
j-supported national tour, which wraps up at
the Tanks on 6 August.
