Sophie Devine is a fan of Ash Gardner's art

Ashleigh Gardner's newly discovered talent in lockdown has found fans across the Trans-Tasman divide. Gardner had begun creating indigenous-style dot paintings for her Australia team-mates and now has moved on to doing custom artwork on shoes.

New Zealand's Sophie Devine who's playing in the BBL wanted in on the action, and show she has her own custom wearable art.

Incidentally, the Australian men's team will also be wearing custom indigenous artwork on their team jerseys for the entirety of the Australian cricket summer. The artwork tells the story of the indigenous cricket team that toured England in 1868.

How gorgeous is that art? Cricket Australia has the explanation of the symbolism of it.
