Artist Profile - Irene Young

My name is Irene Young.  I am an artist who has been painting for many years and have sold my works throughout Australia and around the world to collectors in Spain, the US, England, Canada and Japan.  Presently, I live in the southern hills of the city of Perth, Western Australia, an area which has a wonderful diversity of native animals, birds and flora, which is a great inspiration to me.  Watercolour is my favourite medium as I feel it gives my work a fresh, translucent quality that instils a feeling of life like images and I love the freedom it gives me to express light and line.  Though I major in watercolour, I do dabble in acrylics, oils, pastels and mixed media.  Although I love painting the varied animals, birds and flora of my country, I have also painted landscapes and portraits, done illustration and art for publication, and taught others how to explore their creative artistic side.  At present, I am moving into larger scale paintings and exploring diverse avenues new to me such as entering my works into competitions and exhibitions.
