Nellie Crawford grew up in the Jarrah and Karri Forest Country of south-west Australia. After graduating from university in 1978, she spent the following 19 years teaching in schools and technical colleges throughout Australia and Christmas Island, also spending time travelling and working in Europe.
In 1998, after many years of painting on a part-time basis, and studying with recognised artists including Jane Moore, Nellie left teaching to paint full-time. Since then, Nellie has gained recognition as a prominent and collectible still-life painter, both in Australia and overseas.
Now working from her studio in Fremantle, Nellie is represented by galleries in Australia and the UK. Here’s her story.
