Hello Snakes!

With a background in Fine Art from Edinburgh Art College in Scotland, Gillian Nix has been living in Maroondah since 2011 and has exhibited at local venues including ‘The Sitting Wombat Café’ in Croydon. This work originates from a love and respect of Australian wildlife with a particular focus on snakes. The artist describes how “walking around in summer always makes me look out for snakes and other curious creatures. Originally these individual images were hand carved lino prints.” Nix used digital media to edit the original lino prints into this format. “I hope the final work suggests the vibrancy and warmth of Australian summers and wonderful surprise wildlife encounters.”
