Originally from UK, Abigail Parker has been a frustrated artist since leaving High School. Retiring from full-time work finally gave her the opportunity to study Art, at TAFE then OUA, and she is now pursuing a belated artistic career as a painter in watercolours and oils. Living in Albany’s beautiful bio-diversity hot-spot inspired her to combine my two lifelong passions, Nature and Art, into an effective working whole.
Abigail has refined her artistic practice into two associated streams… working in watercolour and pastels for detailed botanical and wildlife studies, and in oils for larger ‘statement’ pieces – which can be intentionally confronting. Her artwork is collected locally, interstate, and internationally.
Abigails artwork focuses on the inhabitants and habitat of her home range, around Albany W.A, and explores environmental issues. She is deeply concerned with highlighting the plight of our increasingly rare and endangered flora and fauna… aiming is to provoke us into action to ensure a sustainable, ecologically balanced future.
Currently working with ArtSouthWA (Board), Phoenix Fine Arts, and Albany Botanic Art Group… Abigail exhibits regularly with these groups. However, her artwork is now mainly available through her Lower King Studio/Gallery – during regular Open Studio’s, or by appointment. You may also purchase Abigails unique artwork online, through her website store.
