Australian Artist Magazine “Scratch Me Happy! – Using scratchboard to create realistic and expressive animal portraits” -

Geraldine demonstrates and describes the art of scratchboard to create realistic and expressive animal portraits in a 10 page featured article in the January, 2017 issue.

A GIANT humpback whale, a snow leopard, an orangutan – these beautifully crafted images are designed to make you think.

Dino Halcrow and Geraldine Simmons want to wake people up to the urgency of protecting wildlife.

Artists Dino Halcrow and Geraldine Simmons use different media but have come together for an exhibition about their love and concern for animals and the environment.

Called Looking At The Bigger Picture, the exhibition, at Painters Gallery, Manly, shows marine life and mammals on canvas and scratchboard.

Ms Simmons, of Collaroy, said impacts on animal habitat would eventually reach humans and greater understanding was needed.

“Our vision is for people to see wildlife in another light. They are not just creatures beneath us,” she said. “What we’re trying to convey is wildlife are sentient beings, just like us.”

The exhibit contains facts and notes on the artists’ experiences with the animals.

Mr Halcrow, of Ingleside, said: “It takes awareness for us to become custodians of the planet we call home.

“Most people say, ‘We enjoyed the show and left with a small seed of thought’. It’s making people think about their actions and responsibilities.”

He has long been fascinated by the ocean and has used his art to promote environmental responsibility.

Ms Simmons has also used her art to promote better understanding of endangered wildlife since she met orang-utans in Borneo in 2005.

The two have displayed their works together at the suggestion of the gallery owner.

The exhibition runs until Friday.
