# About me

I am an Australian artist from a realm of starlit dreams. I love vibrant colour and vivid imagination, and aspire to thread happiness, paint curiosity and inspire wonder in those who view my work.

I draw inspiration from my natural surroundings, folk tales and spirituality. I have a supreme love for landscapes and nature, and aim to negate feelings of disenchantment in our society; to re-establish feelings of mystery and wonder of our planet in our everyday lives. I am primarily a digital artist, but also dabble in paints and pencils now and then to get back to my traditional roots.

I enjoy twilight walks, genuine smiles, the feel of autumn leaves and the sound of the wind by the ocean.

Viewer’s Note: If you would like to post any of my artworks on an external blog or website, please first ask my permission either via a dA note or through email, and then credit me with a link back to my dA page (here). Viewing is always free, but I will not tolerate stealing.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. :) (Smile) Wonderful to see another Aussie artist on dA as well, I particularly like your plush Makar - so clever! I wish I could do that!

Yeah Artists of Oz unite! Also thank you! I am very proud of how Makar came out. I recommend giving it ago. Sewing things is not as hard as it looks just know that there will be mistakes.
Also Thank you for the watch <3

Love your work, and I can't imagine how you could've done those "speed"paintings... most people I know couldn't've done that and called it a "speed"painting. More like a masterpiece.

BettinaMarson In reply to KyaniteArcher [2013-03-18 20:18:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, so sorry for my very late reply! I do read every comment I get and try to respond to everyone in a timely manner. I've just relocated to England (probably for the rest of this year!) so have no new work just yet, but I hope to be posting more artwork over the next few weeks. Anyway - thanks again for your kind words and viewing my work. :) (Smile)

You paint such incredible environments. The detailing has me combing through each piece meticulously so I don't miss anything. In short, beautiful work and amazing effort!! (I basically said the same thing as the person below me, but man do I agree 100%)
