Sea Turtle

This picture is inspired by a holiday in Bali. There was a definite turtle theme for this holiday. We saw a turtle come up on the beach one night as we walked back to our hotel and we were also lucky enough to be able to release baby turtles into the sea one afternoon, thanks to the Bali Sea Turtle Society. This was also my first trial with PastelMatt paper and coloured pencil. I'm loving the combination!

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.
