Nourlangie Rock Wallaby

Nourlangie Rock is an iconic feature of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia. When I chanced upon the wallaby while walking on the track to Nourlangie Rock, I stopped in my tracks. I slowly took out my camera, so as not to alarm the animal, and quickly took a photo just in case it jumped away. Amusingly, the wallaby was probably used to all the tourists passing on the track because it just sat and watched me for several minutes, as I did it. It is a lovely experience to come across animals in the Australian bush and once more, I still own this favourite painting and thus keep enjoying the experience of that day at Kakadu National Park, long ago. This painting is an example of the painting series ‘outback’ that can be viewed on my website: www.pamschultzgallery.com.au I am now making it available for sale for others to enjoy.

Pam Schultz is an award-winning representational fine artist. Her paintings are in the collection of national and international patrons. “My appreciation of art began at home in Melbourne, where I was fascinated by my grandmother’s oil paintings hanging on the walls. I started drawing earnestly around eight years old. I excelled at art in school and by grade 12, I was enrolled in a Diploma of Art at Caufield Institute of Technology (now Monash University). My first artistic job was a textile artist at a clothing factory in Melbourne. I designed textile patterns and took the illustrations overseas to England where I was based for three years. I travelled around Europe, West Asia and America visiting art galleries, stately homes and cathedrals. In London, I worked for an animation studio where I created illustrations for commercials. Back in Australia, I became enthralled by the tropical landscapes in North Queensland and became involved in lobbying for their protection through my art. Influenced by anthropology studies at university, I began to paint portraits in 2003. Then I began to choose people who were conservation ecologists as this theme suited my passion as one who aimed for the same goal. I worked in the field of natural resource management following the achievement of a PhD in Environmental Science. Amongst other recent commendations, I won first prize in 2019 for “The Ethnobotonist” in the competition Artists of the North in Cairns. In 2020, I received a high commendation for “Grasswren Country Laid Down” at the Cairns Regional Gallery.”
