This is my original, matted and framed Pastel Wildlife Portrait, "Dot the Eastern Quoll". Dot was awarded 1st Prize in Animal Portraiture at the Queanbeyan Art Society's “Drawings, Portraits and Miniatures” Exhibition in 2017.

Eastern Quolls have recently been reintroduced to my hometown, Canberra and only exists in the wild in Tasmania and Bruni Island. They are small nocturnal marsupials and are listed as "Near Threatened". They were once hunted for their fur but are now under threat from introduced carnivores, disease and habitat clearance.

I will donate 10% of the profit from this artwork to the Mulligan's Flat Woodland Sanctuary to help them provide a safe haven for reintroduced Quolls and other native animals in the ACT: https://mulligansflat.org.au/quoll-fact-sheet/
