Lawn Hill gorge is a place of beauty and peacefulness situated in the remote north-west highlands of Queensland. I have been lucky enough to visit this magical place and this is painted from a photo I took while canoeing up the gorge.
Joanne Scriha 86 artworks | 57 Sold Follow Contact Joanne From a very young art has been part of my life and the urge to create has always stayed with me. I will never forget the first box of oil paints I received as a kid that was i when I fell in love with oils. The Australian landscape with it's everchanging colours, formations and unique flora and fauna supply me with a constant source of inspiration. When exploring this beautiful country of ours the camera and my eyes are always open wide taking it all in. . I get a delight in painting animals incorporating humour and capturing their personalities. I do believe that art should not only be a thing of beauty but bring joy and make people smile. I live amongst nature where my garden is my sanctuary. and lots of birds visit so I will never run out of ideas for my next painting.. In the past I have created many one of a kind miniature fairy sculptures which are now in private collections all over the world. So you will also find that there will be a fairy painting or two in amongst my works. Art has brought me much joy and i love that I get to share this with others.
