Original artwork description:

Original and expressive Charcoal and conte drawing using a sketchy and confident marks and smudges revealing the energy, emotion and processes in the making of it. An eraser also becomes a drawing tool allowing me to shape, highlight and blend. Drawings are approx 23.5mm x 23.5mm on 150g cartridge paper and will be sent in a cardboard large letter box with a certificate of authenticity making it suitable as a gift

Only a few months ago Australian wildlife and their habitats were destroyed due to extreme bushfires. I’ve been following a few of the charities that help these animals and the work that some people are doing to help the animals is extraordinary, but the world is now, understandably, fixated on covid, and donations to these charities have dropped away, so I just want to raise a little awareness again and help in a small way by selling Artworks for funds, so here they are: a series of charcoal koala drawings.

This unique Artwork will not only remind you of the beauty and plight of the Koala but also of the important donation we made together to help them. I want to emphasise ‘together’ because my work to earn the funds is worth nothing without a collector to purchase them.
I have been researching the charities doing amazing things and intend that 50% of profit from sales (after commission and fees) will go to support wildlife volunteers via the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife.

Materials used:

150gsm cartridge paper, charcoal, fixative
