All Creatures Great and Small
Giving“All Creatures Great and Small” features works of art depicting animals created by local Melbourne artists. Beautiful paintings and prints by Nadine Dudek, Clare Dunstan, Sarah Hardy & Claire Turner.
Nadine Dudek
‘Long-eared Owl’ watercolour
Born in Melbourne and growing up in Canberra, Nadine has a passion for wildlife art with a particular affinity for birds. Now based in Melbourne, Nadine continues to develop her fluid style using watercolour as her primary medium. Watercolour performs beautifully to capture the movement and freedom of the subjects she paints. For Nadine the most rewarding paintings are those with the fewest strokes, the minimalistic approach making her work immediately recognisable. In 2015 Nadine left her career as a research scientist to become a professional artist, a decision that has been rewarded with numerous successful solo exhibitions and award winning paintings.
