We've learnt to photograph through quarantine meshing! These little Red- headed Gouldian Finches were going through quarantine a very important part of preventing diseases spreading and they were not too happy about it. I painted this to "set them free" and to create a bright and happy artwork with loads of primary colour, something to make anyone smile because I know these Australian birds were going onto a super life style- they just didn't know it at the time. With this artwork I also wanted to try out a slightly different brush work technique and I am very happy with the results.

Susan was born in Rhodesia, educated in South Africa at Groote Schuur Hospital where she worked for 20 years and now lives in Australia. Having rewritten her medical exams with Distinction in 2011 in Australia she was saddened when the cervical cancer Pap screening was deemed not cost effective in 2017 in Australia and palliative hospitals were built instead. It was then that she followed her second dream which had started in High School with the final art prize in 1985 and started her own art practice in Canberra. Susan is absolutely loving the art world now for she has discovered Art is the universal language that heals and connects people in this world. Susan still believes that prevention of cancer and early diagnosis is a worthwhile cause and is glad she was able to help others and glad that the Australian radiologists were spared the cost cuts of 2017 so they were able to help her live as well but she now welcomes you to share her journey forward in the Arts.
