About the Artist
Annette is a Perth-based artist born and bred in Western Australia.
Her interest in watercolour began in early childhood when she painted as a small child with her grandfather, who was a skilled watercolourist. Study work and family intervened and in 2009 Annette finally realised her lifelong ambition to study watercolours. She has attended Claremont School of Art, Bathurst University vacation courses and many workshops with renowned, overseas, eastern states and local artists.
She is past secretary and committee member of the Watercolour Society of Western Australia.

She also received two high commendations in the 2018 and 2019 Beverley Station Arts Exhibition.

An Australian Ballet
$375
37.5cm x 55cm
Watching these emus at Donnelly River I was struck by how graceful they are at times. The wind was blowing their tail feathers around making them look like tutus. It started a series of balletic emu paintings that is still in progress. More to follow.

Venice Waking
$200
30cm x 45cm – Unframed – Unmatted
Another special moment on holiday. Early morning and the only one around was this man speeding up the canal in his boat, while everything else was silent, deserted and still.
