Hidden Treasure (Silvereye Cradle Mountain Original Acrylic on Claybord 35cm x 28cm

Natalie’s Inspiration: “While on a trip to Tasmania a few years ago I spotted a tiny Silvereye enjoying the warm sun. This was at Cradle Mountain.  Silvereyes are frequent visitors to my own garden in Vacy, but I  have never seen them so found and fluffy!

This painting is part of a triptych that celebrates the unique beauty of the pristine temperate rainforest of Tasmania and the stunning birdlife that live amongst it. My original idea was to have the three paintings framed as one, utilising the winding moss covered branches found in the understorey of Cradle Mountain. But as this trio were being painted they all found a strength within their individual format,  so in the end I decided to celebrate the birds diversity by framing them separately”.

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.
