Natalie’s Inspiration: “Greater Gliders are one of my favourite Australian animals, they are not a widely known glider species as they are rarely seen, and sadly they are an endangered species. Tree clearing, forest destruction, bushfires and climate change are placing their population at risk. Without old-growth forests and the tree hollows found in those established trees to call home, Greater Gliders cannot survive. I have decided to paint this magnificent animal to help raise awareness and also donate a portion of the sale price to conservation projects.
I have to thank Josh Bowell for allowing me to use his amazing photography as reference for this painting. The patience to find these animals in the wild and photograph them is a feat in itself! Living high up in the canopy these beautiful animals are relatively silent, so it’s mainly by eye reflection that they are spotted. I hope you like this painting, I feel it is quite special”.
Natalie’s real love is painting small animals, native to Australia. She completed her Associate Diploma of Fine Arts at Newcastle University. She was born on 16th April 1971 and is a young artist with a bright future. Natalie has over 70 images and counting reproduced onto mugs, trays, jigsaws, tea towels, placemats and coasters, distributed throughout the world by giftware company Ashdene Australia. She is the author and illustrator of 32 children’s books and has her work reproduced onto calendars, prints, tea towels, jigsaw’s, placemats, coasters and materials introducing her work to a much broader cross section of the public rather than just the lovers of fine art. She has won several International Art Awards. Natalie remains one of Australia’s highest profile wildlife artists. Natalie’s works will continue to increase in value are a great investment.
