Daryl Dickson is an award-winning painter and illustrator with a
passion for the natural environment and native wildlife rehabilitation.
Originally from London, she now lives in Far North Queensland, where she
divides er time between her art and working to save the endangered mahogany
glider. Her first memories of wildlife are linked to England as her early
connections with nature were established in the English woods.
Daryl has received an Australia Day Award for her work
in environmental education and wildlife rescue, Cassowary Award, and the
Drawing prize at the Hinchinbrook Bird Life Art Awards. She is a member of many artistic and conservation
societies, including the Wildlife Art Society of Australia and The Wildlife
Preservation Society of Queensland, of which she is the president of her local
branch. She is also chair of Australia's National Recovery Team for the
Mahogany Glider, one of Australia's most threatened species.
Daryl and her husband live in the
Kennedy Valley and devote much of their time to caring for injured and orphaned
native animals. Their home is shared with an amazing diversity of unique flora
and fauna, providing endless inspiration, interest and color.
