Artwork Description

I had previously done a series of paintings for a book I am intending to publish about childrens' confidence, and this artwork represents feeling as strong as a lions heart. It also serves as a timely reminder that World Wildlife Day has just past recently, and we should value all native animals.

Artist Bio

Welcome - and thank you for visiting my page. I grew up on the Sunshine Coast where my family had horses, so if I wasn't riding and competing, I was drawing them from an early age sometimes in pencil but mostly in charcoal. I studied art in my final school years, and from then on, I lived in various remote areas of Queensland, so my main inspiration was drawn from this.
A bit of trivia about me:
I sold my first painting - an oil painting when I was about 14/15 years old. I was asked by a lady to paint something in remembrance of her husband to donate to the Caboolture RSL.
I nearly became an art teacher. I had applied and got accepted to go to art college, but in the interim I accepted an office position, so I kept that.
In my early twenties, I had painted in oil, a little bull rider with his rope dragging, and someone stole it from the person I gave it to.
From then:
In 2016, I was honoured to be asked to illustrate for a special project on the plight of families going through IVF. The book published in the same year being "Special Me - for IVF Families".
Currently living in Toowoomba, I have held a number of solo and joint exhibitions around the region.
I would appreciate it if you would follow me, and be the first to view my newly uploaded art......thanks
