100 Artworks for a Koala entry: Title: ‘ Speedy ‘
Size: W 122 cm x H 122 cm (48×48 inches) | Medium: Acrylic on repurposed curtain
“ I created this vibrant happy koala in 30 min in order to fit my description as a speed painter and the title [ ‘Speedy’ ]. When I moved to Australia 15 years ago from the US, the only thing I knew about Australia was that it had koalas, kangaroos, and vegemite…and I have fallen in love with the first two. Painting it on a curtain I found at a thrift store was important for me as it reflects the environmentalist mentality we all need to adapt in order to preserve these beautiful creatures. ” Sarah Rowan
