Laurel Foenander

I have been a professional artist since 1995 and would describe myself primarily as a Contemporary Realist painter, working mainly in oils. The natural world is my eternal inspiration and my wildlife work has been well recognised and collected all over the world, particularly in the field of Australian bird painting.

I am inspired however by many other images and ideas, and am not confined to any one genre, so my work can range from detailed wildlife paintings to imposing Sea or Cloudscapes, Nudes, Surrealist Expressionism, or pure Abstraction, depending on where my colours lead me.
