Natalie’s Inspiration: “Cute tiny jewels of the tropics as their name suggests, Little Kingfishers are the smallest species of Australian Kingfishers and the second-smallest Kingfisher in the world! They have been on my ‘to-do list’ for many years. Being such tiny birds called for the tiniest of paint brushes in my brush collection to create this painting. I wanted the birds to be the main focal point so I purposely chose to paint them on a flimsy dead twig, which is actually a preferred perch for these tiny birds to hunt. They are an aquatic kingfisher, diving for fish and small crustaceans. To set the scene, the background was airbrushed, the setting came from my own reference photos of a rainforest stream in north Queensland.
A big thank you to Imogen Warren for photographic reference of the birds”.
Natalie’s real love is painting small animals, native to Australia. She completed her Associate Diploma of Fine Arts at Newcastle University.

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.
