Gillian Napier - Ongarra Gallery

After years as an aquatic biologist travelling in the eastern states of Australia the observations of many strange and marvellous creatures and the influence of wonderful locations from billabongs to rocky coastlines have inspired her work.

A love for colour and patterns, especially those inspired by the natural world are a feature of Gillian's work.

Through silk painting and silk screening, patterns emerge describing the character of Australia's wildlife, as seen through the eyes of an artist influenced by a strong background in biological sciences.

From the small microscopic animals, plants and minerals to the larger, better known flora and fauna. From yabbies and water-bears to starfish and sea-slugs, it appears that the aquatic environment is a favourite although lizards have always had a very special place!

Gillian has expressed her delight in our Australian environment through many media, including photography, silver and glass jewellery work, watercolour & oil paintings and textile design.

Gillian is also a member of T'arts (Textile and Arts Collective) in Adelaide. The T'arts web site has a huge variety of goods available.
