I'm a self-taught Aussie artist who lives in a quiet Melbourne town-house with my lovely boyfriend, two demanding cats and a bright blue Siamese fighting fish called Jet Li.
During the day, I work in the creative department of an advertising agency. At night, I draw my girls.
I like to work in pencil as I have absolutely no patience and I hate waiting for paint to dry. Watercolour is also great fun (and dries quickly!) - it has a mind of its own and I love the surprise results you can get from it.
Naturalist fashion photographer Lennette Newell channels a lifelong passion for Earth’s biodiversity and the magical wonder of the natural world into compelling animal portraits that afford viewers an intimate glimpse of creatures large and small.
After completing art school in Lucca, Tuscany, he immersed himself in the new generation of artists, post-Macchiaioli Toscani, the Italian equivalent of French Impressionists. In the late 1960’s, he opened a studio in Livorno, Italy where he had permanent exposition until the mid- 1970’s. He moved to the United States in 1980, continuing his art career and showing his work from coast to coast. The careful geometric design and harmonious distribution of color throughout his work reflect his excellent artistic schooling and passion for his craft.
