Bravo Ed. 1 of 20

This piece was inspired by a kookaburra that visited me on my birthday one year. He was sitting in my garden when I opened the curtain that morning. I didn't want to scare him off by moving so we looked at each other for a long while. Finally I went to get my camera and was surprised to see him still in the same place when I returned. Happily he sat while I took his picture.

Hi there. My name is Emily.

I love nature! It is the basis of my education, the centre of my volunteer work and now the inspiration of my art.

Living in the Perth Hills, I am constantly provided with photo opportunities of the wildlife that visit us. For the last four years, I have been learning my craft, trying different media and styles. My favourites are coloured pencil, pastels and watercolour in a fairly detailed style.

Prompted by a friend I entered the Kelmscott and Gosnells Art Shows where my pieces have won 'Best in Show' and their individual classes. Encouraged by these achievements I hope this is a start of an exciting art career.
