About Skye

Hi, I’m Skye Stephenson, a passionate Koala Rescue and Care volunteer. My love for creating artworks of the amazing wildlife we rescue, care for, and release back into the wild has led me down a unique artistic path. I create inks from leftover koala food – Eucalyptus leaves! Experimenting with different species has unlocked a stunning palette of browns, from the warm glow of Swamp Mahogany to the deep, almost black tones of strongly scented leaves. I use my Eucalyptus Leaf inks in all of my Australian Wildlife artworks.

I’ve been a practising artist since the 1990s, and since taking on a volunteer role at Port Stephens Koala Hospital, my artworks now prominently feature wildlife. However, I still continue with my passion for figurative and portraiture art. I create original artworks and have prints available for purchase.

I’ve partnered with a local Port Stephens business to scan and create premium art reproduction prints on 100% Smooth Cotton Rag using archival pigment inks managed by a specialised digital technician who cares about every print. My main aim for selling artworks is to raise funds to continue my art practice and to donate to Port Stephens Koala Hospital and other associated wildlife organisations. I donate at least 10% from the sale of wildlife artworks to Port Stephens Koala Hospital to help contribute to the ongoing costs of caring for our native wildlife.
