News & Press
Ebony is a nature artist and illustrator, specialising in Australian wildlife, landscape and plants. She paints with oil on canvas and works in a painterly style to capture the character of the animal while still maintaining a high level of detail.
Ebony grew up in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales, on a rural property surrounded by bushland and wildlife. As a result she has always been fascinated and inspired by nature and the ever-changing beauty of the Earth’s natural landscapes.
After completing a degree in Environmental Science, Ebony began working full-time in science-related positions in Canberra, all the while still painting in any spare moment, she finally realised that painting was her passion, and began working towards becoming a full- time artist by enrolling in Natural History Illustration at the University of Newcastle.

On a two and three dimensional level the works range from the playful and irreverent through to macabre and nightmarish. The subject is presented through a range of mediums such as steel, ceramics, acrylic and oil paint, digital, pen, ink and charcoal.

"The subjects and places featured in the works of J VALENZUELA DIDI often convey the familiar, scenes of everyday life with figures and faces you might almost recognise. Yet there is something uncanny lying just beneath the surface. J has the wonderful ability to make the ordinary extraordinary and through this exhibition, we see the wonder and beauty found in the everyday.
