Artwork Description

I love to paint animals, especially the large cats. I saw this beautiful picture of "Sahara", and felt compelled to paint her. Africa is a wonderful place for inspiration, and I love the colours of the landscape and how amazingly they blend into their surroundings with such ease. If only they understood how wonderfully beautiful they are and how they all so diverse in their own way. The black markings on their faces are called "black tears" as they are there to stop the glare of the sun, like football players with black paint under their eyes. Cheetahs are considered "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red list, hence the reason I wanted to showcase this beautiful animal, is to make others aware of their plight.

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.
