I am a visual artist and marine scientist and I bring together these elements to create my original artworks. I am drawn to the ocean and love to create underwater artworks so people can ‘sea’ the beauty in nature. I work across a number of mediums including: watercolours, acrylics, pen and ink and mixed media. Examples of some of my original artworks can be seen here and in the Gallery and Exhibitions and you can view a more comprehensive collection of my artworks at Suzanne Pillans’ Pinterest page.

MARINE ARTWORK

As a marine ecologist I have spent much of my life studying and learning about the marine world and because of this I have a great passion for creating marine artworks using a mixture of mediums, but I particularly love the way watercolours mimic the feel of the ocean as I paint. You could say that I’m literally ‘drawn’ to the ocean!! You can follow my marine art-science storytelling as my alter ego at Dr Suzie Starfish’s Facebook page.

“Little Fishes” kids artwork range

I love nothing more than taking kids on a journey under the sea so I have created a unique range of artworks for children of all ages called “Little Fishes“. You can mix and match your sea animals and sizes of canvas’s to suit your ‘little fish’, your nursery and room decor. Please Contact me for further information on these made to order artworks.

     

     

FASHION ILLUSTRATION

I also have a passion for fashion and enjoy the way watercolours and inks take the shape of classical couture, fabulous frocks and sensational shoes. You can follow my fashion artworks and fashion tips, tricks and trends through my Miss Frockstar page.

COMMISSIONS

I am grateful to have the opportunity to paint for people around the world and through these art commissions I have painted a wide range of subjects, from tropical rock lobsters, whale sharks and killer whales through to fashion artworks and University landscapes.

GIFT CARDS

I have recently expanded my artworks into printed and hand-painted gift cards of marine creatures and fashion frocks. A percentage from the sales of all of my fashion artworks go towards the cancer care initiative Look Good Feel Better Australia.

DIGITAL DRAWINGS

I have recently started creating artworks through digital drawings which to me is a fun and natural extension of the visual storytelling work I do as a Graphic Recorder.
