Blue Wren In The Woodlands

Inspired by the beautiful blue wrens which flit through the woodland next to my studio in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
This hand painted artwork, fresh from an Exhibition at Braemar Gallery in the Blue Mountains of NSW, is created on a deep edged cradled wooden art board, hand-painted in intensive alcohol inks and acrylics across the smooth surface. The sides show the grain of the natural wood.
It has received layers of protective varnish and is ready to hang.
The painting is signed on the front and will also come with the Artist’s Certificate of Authenticity.
It is a registered painting no. 000-46936-0146-01 with the Australian National Register of Art and Artists

“While I have done many things in life so far, studying, working and travelling extensively, I truly think I was born to paint! I get great joy from creating and more so when my art is appreciated and sought by viewers and collectors. I am so fortunate to live and create in the World Heritage Listed Area of The Blue Mountains, and take most of my inspirations from its natural environs and my own sprawling Studio gardens,

I enjoy being an active member of the vibrant Blue Mountains arts community. I volunteer at my local art gallery and enjoy giving back to the arts community in that way. I have run art classes for 10 years and have been requested by art societies to provide workshops, demonstrations and to judge their exhibitions. I have also curated a number of Public Gallery and Art Society Exhibitions.
