Habitat VII: Cardwell Lillies in situ
LEFT: ​Each year, around Christmas time, the Cardwell lilies bloom after the first wet season rains. First, the lilies emerge, then the shimmering bright green leaves. The leaves persist for months after the flowers die, then nothing until the next year. We see in this painting, native Wet Tropics World Heritage Area flora softly framing the man-made waterfall that flows into the fauna friendly pond. The pond attracts musky rat-kangaroos, red-necked crakes, buff-breasted paradise kingfishers (amongst numerous other species of birds), snakes and goannas.

Habitat V in situ. This drawing is unframed.
LEFT: Five years ago, I was attracted to this scene of the old car in the bushes. At the time, I thought it would make a good painting but the thought became more urgent when it was quickly being covered by foliage and even more urgent when the property sold. It is a common scene on rural properties but rarely seen in a rainforest setting unless walking through a forest. ​

Dr Ray Pierce works in the Wet Tropics, Australia as well as in the Pacific. This painting portrays his relaxed demeanour. As an ornithologist, Ray has travelled the world and is an expert in conservation biology. The bird, Cardinal Myzomela and Ray are vitally important (Two Cardinals) to Lake Tegano on Rennell Island because it is a World Heritage Area. The puffed-up feathers of the bird indicate alarm for the state of the environment. Ray is the researcher who monitors the health of both the bird and its habitat.

This is my backyard. The bird that you will have to ‘look’ for is a spectacled monarch. On some mornings, birds are seen bathing on the dew-sodden fern fronds. I wanted to capture this moment amongst the flowering Tibouchina shrub and Alstonia tree. Usually, smaller birds of the Wet Tropics gather for safety when they eat, drink and bath. Thus, when you ‘see’ movement in the garden, take a closer look and ‘you will see’ not one but often several birds and this gives the viewer a lovely experience.

The Hmong People of Northern Laos were brought to Australia as refugees at least 30 years ago. Located in Innisfail, North Queensland, I was their ethnologist in 2005 to record their cultural codes of marriage, death and funeral rites. After gaining permission, I was able to paint this scene of a drummer, the primary player, and two Qeej players. Their performance is to assist the deceased to return to their homeland so that he/she does not cause harm to the family. The Qeej player dances with swaying motion to evoke the spirits. The mortuary practices can last up to twelve days where animals are sacrificed, shamans douse with bamboo sticks to receive instruction from the spirits and the community gathers to share food.

Nestled in remote NT, the Chinese-owned Wollogorang Station has hidden treasures. We were part of a Carpentarian grass-wren team who were searching for the illusive little birds to make sure there were sufficient numbers for their survival. Tramping over difficult and rocky terrain for kilometres, we surveyed wilderness areas where they were previously recorded. Some sites successful, some were not but oh, the fabulous discoveries of hidden gorges and clear-water-lily ponds were glorious visions of Australiana. Then, the absolute thrill of the tingling song of the grass-wren was heard and yes . . . the often-solitary bird was seen and photographed – triumph! Highly commended in 2020 for the Cairns Art Society annual exhibition held at the Cairns Regional Gallery.

India has always fascinated me and my travels took me there four times. The Ajanta Caves, in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state, India, is one of the most fascinating places because of its antiquity and style of the paintings on the walls. I superimposed the new home frontages over the ancient wall paintings to emphasize the quotidian between these two worlds. The hand-carved caves date back to the 2nd Century BCE.

This 60th birthday portrait of Annie Wonga was painted in 2000, before she received the Cassowary Award in 2006. It is set on her property beside Babinda Creek, close to the small township of Babinda, North Queensland, which is about 65 kms south of Cairns. Annie’s traditional name is Murrai, which means unconditional love of dogs. She is a descendant of the Madjanydji People who were custodians of the Lower Russell River and Woolanmarroo South to North Bramston Beach.

Whilst in the Northern Territory on an extended painting trip, the savannah landscape with its grasses, pandanas trees and insects were ablaze with bright colour in the “morning glow” of the first light. The buzzing insects and the steamy conditions played amongst the foliage creating movement and colour change.
Morning Glow SOLD Acrylic on Linen 53x73cm with hand-carved custom frame & ready to hang!
Nourlangie Rock is an iconic feature of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, Australia. When I chanced upon the wallaby while walking on the track to Nourlangie Rock, I stopped in my tracks. I slowly took out my camera, so as not to alarm the animal, and quickly took a photo just in case it jumped away. Amusingly, the wallaby was probably used to all the tourists passing on the track because it just sat and watched me for several minutes, as I did it. It was a lovely experience being in outback Australia.

FINALIST in the prestigious Holmes Art Prize for Excellence in Realistic Australian Bird Art, held in Melany in 2019. While on a grasswren survey in the Northern Territory, I ventured into the creek to cool myself down after an arduous 8km trek over rocky ground. I noticed something splashing in the water in the distance, so I took several photos of the bird and was able to capture the bird in action, a very rare thing indeed!

A remote Aboriginal community at the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia is  Kowanyama. This is where you will find the endangered White-bellied Crimson Finch. The bird is confined to a small area there, along with other finches such as the Star Finch (endangered), the Black-throated Finch, the Chestnut-breasted Mannikin and the Red-browed Finch. Crimson finches are more common with a black belly but the finches in my painting have morphed with a white belly. They are like their southern cousins, the Black-throated Finch, whose endangered relatives have a white instead of black rump. The presence of Finches in the landscape indicates that the country is relatively healthy. Finches Queensland is an organisation set up to survey and monitor finches and their habitat.

Dr Ro Hill - FINALIST- Percival Portrait Prize and the Stanthorpe Art Prize 2021

Picture
In this portrait of Ro, the hard-edged and wired office is juxtaposed with the soft organic environment. The melding of the two environments illustrate that one needs the other in Ro’s world. Ro is passionate about academic writing because, as she states, ‘I was blessed with a good brain and I want to use it for the betterment of people and the environment.’ The crochet bee earrings represent the demise of bees and other insects that are essential for the reproduction of flora as well as food for many birds and lizards.
Beginning in the 1970s, Ro was influenced by “the flowering of scientists like the Ehrlichs’ and the Meadows’ who wrote books like The Population Bomb and The Limits to Growth respectively.” These books influenced her to join other activists to form part of the blockade to stop the logging of the Daintree Rainforest in North Queensland. This action was perhaps a two-edged sword as it did secure protection for the Daintree, but it also made it world famous and a destination for eco-tourism.
A mother of two girls, Ro continues to work beyond her retirement age as a researcher as well as a volunteer who has already spent thousands of hours throughout her life for numerous conservation actions.
This portrait is a part of my series highlighting conservation ecologists who volunteer in Queensland, nationally and internationally.

Pam Schultz/Landscape & Portrait Artist

​My artworks hope to promote the merits for preserving what we have left of the natural environment as well as tolerance and equality between people with different cultural backgrounds. Through my portrait paintings, I aim to highlight those people working in the environmental conservation field by bringing the viewer’s attention to what they have worked on and the contribution they have made during their lives. #pamschultzgallery; #ozwilderness
