Camouflage (Drawing)

While visiting Olympic Park we came along this Cormorant that was sunning itself on a log in the shallow water. The patterns of light on the bird, water and foreground rocks were so beautiful. I love to capture those patterns in line drawings. I also love the way they leave some areas empty and others full of energy.
My hope is that you will see this beauty also and enjoy it each time your eyes rest on the artwork.
The artwork has been drawn using Posca paint pen on A3 Canson black paper. The actual size of the drawing in the white frame is 21.3cm wide x 29.8cm high.

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
