Wow – how exciting! One of my drawings has been listed as a finalist in the Bluethumb Art Prize 2021. So. very. cool.

The artwork that has been selected is called “Contemplation and Action”. This is one of my hybrid drawings. I drew the poses in charcoal and then positioned them digitally to tell the story. I really enjoy working this way. Starting a piece using traditional techniques – painting, drawing, pastels, charcoal … and then making the story come together digitally is my favourite way of creating art.

I have listed a few of my hybrid art pieces as limited editions on Bluethumb: https://bluethumb.com.au/danielle-lyons . (There are some amazing art works that have been nominated as finalists in the Bluethumb Art Prize this year).

There is no particular rhyme or reason to what I draw and paint … animals, people, abstractions, houses … whatever is best to tell the story I want to tell 🙂 .
