After observing and photographing the local Koalas in a Canberra nature reserve I just had to paint one. They gorgeous creatures that can get into the most amazing positions considering they sleep most of their lives and Mom is really protective of her baby hiding the joey behind her and amongst the eucalyptus leaves. Although these marsupial Koalas once roamed the country side in Canberra- they are mostly confined to nature reserves now and being a animal that can eat the poisonous eucalyptus leaves with very little water it is only when they need to move tree to tree that they return to the ground where they walk along with their babies acting as haversacks. This artwork is framed in a natural floating frame and can be viewed in the my first RAW video footage online on YouTube, Susan Willemse.

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.
