Daryl was Born in London, educated in South Australia and has spent many years traveling and working abroad.

An enthusiastic artist from childhood, Daryl has had no formal art training. She is a self taught painter, her medium varies throughout her work from pencil, gouache and acrylic but is, most often, water colour.

As a member of the Wildlife Artist Society of Australasia, her passion for Australian wildlife is evident with most of her work depicting the fine detail of Australia's beautiful and unique flora and fauna.

My two great passions in life are wildlife and art.

 

My husband & I care for wildlife and spend much of our time working towards community awareness, education and conservation. I am so fortunate to have close contact with some of north Queensland’s rarest and most endangered species. Our home in the Kennedy Valley, tropical far north Queensland, is shared with an amazing diversity of unique flora and fauna providing endless inspiration, interest and colour.

 

I hope my work shares some of the beauty and uniqueness of our precious Australian flora and fauna with others, in the hope that we will care for it and conserve it for generations to come
