From Naturopathy to Art
After retiring from my naturopathic practice in 2019, I rekindled my artistic passion that I had let lie dormant for over 40 years. As a teenager, I loved to draw with a simple graphite pencil, taking my inspiration mainly from postcards that I had collected on family trips around Victoria, Australia.
Today, I use artist-grade coloured pencils and, increasingly, soft pastels. I love to depict people, animals and all things shiny, always aiming for realistic portrayal in my art.
In my paintings I love to convey boldness, vibrancy and character as expressed in the vivid colours of nature, our spectacular Aussie wildlife, the cuteness of our companion animals, the unique 'landscapes' of the human face and the wowser of shiny man-made objects.
I hope you'll enjoy my colourful artworks on your wall.
Cheers,
Gabriela,
