Emu and Kangaroo Aussie Mates

Absolutely love painting my quirky emus and kangaroos they bring me a lot of joy. This rustic, quirky pair of Aussie mates are ready to bring some joy to your wall. I can see them in a country cottage environment or in a children's room.

Emus and Kangaroos are uniquely Australian and appear on the coat of arms as they can only move forward so it stands for the nation moving ahead.

The emu, a majestic and resilient creature, embodies a profound spiritual energy that symbolizes resilience, strength, and survival. Kangaroos exhibit a diverse range of personalities, often described as playful, friendly, and fun-loving. They thrive on movement and variety, enjoying a hands-on approach to learning and problem-solving.

Painted on a black medium textured background and sprayed lightly with matt varnish for protection. Bit tricky to photograph with the texture but the background is pure black in the original artwork.

Welcome! I enjoy painting a diverse range of art at my Blue Mountains Studio and Gallery drawing inspiration from the stunning surroundings and its abundance of flora and fauna. My aim is to inspire and bring joy, taking the ordinary and enhancing detail, light and form.

My animals are expressive and quirky at times and my landscapes evoke a sense of tranquility. With delicate, layered brushwork they lend a sense of vitality and depth.

Beginning my art journey in 2008 I started with fantasy watercolors that soon became a channel for expressing my emotions, leaning towards light in the darkness. I quickly became a prolific painter experimenting with different mediums and painting a variety of art, and it felt like I had finally met my inner, creative spirit. My dream of owning my own studio/gallery became a reality in 2012 and to this day I still enjoy meeting and selling to many art lovers.

I participate in a range of group exhibitions, when I can, and have held a variety of successful solo shows. I'm very honored to have gained a number of awards over the years, winning the prestigious Rose Lindsay Art Prize at Blue Mountains Art Fest and won First Prize at BMCAN's NSW Parliament House Exhibition for 'Winter in the Blue Mountains', along with People Choice Awards and Highly Commended. I'm delighted that many of my paintings continue to be held in private and public collections worldwide, along with commissioned art products.

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my art.

With my very best wishes

Linda
