Features

ARTIST NOTES: This is a detailed, original watercolour of an adorable baby owl, Willard the Woebegone who fell out of his nest. My art is created with love and passion, and I always give my animals a personality of their own, so they become almost real. When I first saw the photo by Ethan Gray, I knew that this baby owl had to be added to my gallery of loveable animals. Why Willard the Woebegone? Because Willard was high up in the tree, safe in his nest, until he wriggled and wriggled until he fell out. Poor baby Willard can't get back up to his nest again - I think he needs some help - don't you? Thanks to @insituartroom for the room display. Willard is created in Watercolour on 300 gsm paper NB The background is off white but due to issues transferring the photos is shading a little .

ARTIST BIO

Born in the UK, I am a self-taught artist living in Australia.

I began painting at the start of Covid, having a passion for arts and crafts.

Completing a City and Guilds Textiles Course, I emigrated to Sydney in 1986 - there I discovered ceramics. In 1995 my work was exhibited and sold at the Sydney Art Show, and Sydney stores.

Injury forced a successful change to resin art before discovering and falling in love with watercolour. I completed 16+ online certificated art courses to incrrease my skills, and my work evolved from loose flowing to more detailed work, pet portraits, commissions, alcohol ink, charcoal and pastels.

I draw inspiration from Australian flora and fauna, wildlife around the world, and interesting landscapes. Colour is a source of joy and motivation to me.

My paintings have been accepted into art shows, art competitions and awards. I was selected to participate in The Australian Watercolour Muster 2021, and invited to take part in the 6th Annual INternational Salon of Painting at the Menuinda Schneider Gallery in LA. I have also been a featured guest artist on an art website, and my artworks hang in many private homes. Commissions are welcomed.

My website launched in 2020 https://www.artbykathylee.com and I am on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/klkatlee/

My aim is to bring affordable, original art within reach of the average Australian family, and to encourage children to experience the joy to be found in creativity. See more of my artworks at https://www.artbykathylee.com
