Features

ARTIST NOTES: I love being able to paint iconic indigenous Australian wildlife and this time I have added some flora to come up with this unique painting Ive called Emblems of Tasmania. The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial, and the largest in the world. It was once native to mainland Australia and is now found in the wild only on the island state of Tasmania. I find not many people seem to think he’s gorgeous but I do. I have painted him with so many colors as his eyes and nose reflect the green, golds and blues of his surroundings. In the background I have painted the floral emblem of Tasmania being the Tasmanian Blue Gum and together I think they make a stunning pair. I have painted this double thick canvas with acrylic paint and have a gloss varnish for depth of color and protection to my art. I have used a 3cm thick canvas which I have extended the painting around then it is up to you weather you would like to hang it like it is or you can get it framed. He comes to you beautifully and safely wrapped and ready to hang and enjoy.

ARTIST BIO

     

     Catherine Barolo is a self taught artist living in Melbourne, Australia.  

Catherine has been drawing ever since she was little.  A quiet child who would draw for hours and hours escaping life in the 1970's suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

     Her paintings and stories were full of fairies, goblins and all types of animals, flowers and mythical creatures she would make up from her fantasy world she loved and imagined until....life happened!

​

      Fast forward to 2022 and Catherine is happily married with 4 almost grown children and her dog Coco.  It has only been in the last two years Catherine has found time to concentrate on her art.  Catherine is a self taught artist and has exhibited her work in Melbourne and continues to sell her original paintings, prints and commissioned art through her website.  Catherine either works off her own photos or asks photographers permission to use their photos as reference.  Catherine loves to paint in acrylic and now teaching herself to paint digitally.  Each painting is carefully thought and planned out, subject, colour and composition to tell its unique story all in as much detail as she can.

                                                                                                                                              This is just the beginning...
