ART...

Drawing inspiration from my coastal home, daily walks along the beach, and many hours peering into rockpools, my artwork is a mix of illustrations, gouache water colour and acrylic ink, in a detailed scientific illustration style, of our wonderful wildlife.

 

I love to create images of animals and their habitats, focusing mainly on marine fauna, but am expanding my range to include land animals as well.

 

From popular charismatic megafauna like whales, to often-feared and misunderstood shark species, my range includes the big ones, right down to smaller species like nudibranchs, octopus, turtles, seahorses and seadragons ... which are unique to Australia.

 

Apart from what I see when snorkelling or SCUBA diving, many animals either wash ashore on my local beach, or can be seen in the local rockpools. My Mango SEA logo animal is the Glaucus atlanticus, a small blue sea slug, that washes up on my beach every year during the summer months.

 

Other animals that land in my area include sea turtles, seals, sea snakes, sting rays, jellyfish, sponges, a variety of fish species, and all sorts of larvae have appeared at different times. As well as many beautiful shells from marine snails. The shoreline is full of interesting and inspiring things.

 

I often like to represent an individual animal of a species, to focus on it without any others, because each species has a role in its environment and each individual makes up a population. Most animals do not survive on their own, most need others of its kind at some stage of their life, therefore, each individual makes up a group and each individual matters.

 

Between the beautiful beaches, the surrounding coastal environment and my garden full of visiting wildlife, I am surrounded by so many natural influences ... so I had better get back to painting!
