Artwork Description

I went to Taronga Zoo for a "Roar and Snore" weekend and was able to get up close to the snow leopards. From that moment I fell in love with these beautiful, majestic creatures."Asha" means "hope" in Sanskrit. I went looking for images and found inspiration with this particular photo. I then played around with different backgrounds to give more depth to "Asha". I wanted to inspire my audience to love and appreciate these elusive animals and to let people know a little bit more about leopards, and how they are endangered, and how we must do more to protect all animals. "Asha" has been painted in ink and airbrushed on MDF board. I have used this medium to give her a more 3 dimensional feel and a softer look. I want people to feel love and happiness when they look at her.

Artist Bio

I am an internationally renowned artist who specialises in Airbrushing Art. Eight years ago I decided to do an Airbrushing course and have now embarked on an amazing journey into the world of ink and air.

I have been doing art my whole life. My best days were spent in the forest looking for fairies with my grandparents and I gained a love of nature and animals.

I loved airbrushing cars and bikes and found that I was also starting to receive commissioned work – the majority being of pets. I needed more space to be able to paint without having to move pieces I was working on. So early 2016, my sister and I opened our art studio 2 Sisters where we paint our commissioned pieces as well.

I enjoy being able to paint and draw all different types of animals, women, landscapes and seascapes. My favourite subjects include gorillas, lions, snow leopards, dogs and many more. There is something so intriguing about trying to capture an animal’s spirit and I particularly love painting the furry kind. You can really get lost in the serenity of airbrushing and quite often I find that if I am painting I can easily zone out without noticing! The sound of the air and the repetition required to do details of fur in particular is so soothing and therapeutic too.

I am fortunate to have been published three times and have been a finalist in many Australian and International competitions and have exhibited at some of these. Later this year, will be my first special exhibition solely with my sister at Pine Ridge Gallery.
