Art speaks to people in many different ways, and our purpose as artists varies from person to person. Abigail Parker took up painting later in life, but she is driven by purpose. Abigail, better known in Albany as Abigail’s EcoArt, has a passion to paint to protect.
When Abigail began painting, she investigated local wildlife and birds and realised that they were slowly disappearing. Now her passion leads her to paint a message about the importance of protecting our wildlife.
She has developed an ecosystem around her home, which means she is surrounded by birds, possums and other wildlife, which helps to keep her grounded. But inside her studio, Abigail’s paintings tell a story of nature’s beauty as well as its vulnerability.
This video captures Abigail’s gentle nature as she shares her story and her passion to protect.
