The Artist

My name is Anna ‘span’ Streatfeild and I am an autistic  artist working under the name spanmade. I have recently been getting into gold leafing and find it to add so much depth to an artwork.  I live near Cooma in the Canberra/snowy Monaro region and am often inspired wildlife and the environment. I like working in  a variety of mediums including watercolours, acrylics, pyrography and digital mediums.

Artist Statement

I  created this artwork as part of a monthly art theme of ‘Lions’  I wanted to capture the grand regal feeing of confidence in both the wistful look and the gold backing.  Peaceful yet powerful king of the jungle. The colours in the cross hatching represent the environment of the pride’s land.
