 About Me |
Geraldine (Geri) Roggiero is an Australian wildlife artist who lives and works in the beautiful beachside suburb of Collaroy on Sydney's Northern Beaches with her husband and two young children. The picturesque surroundings provide her with much inspiration for which she is truly grateful.
As a young girl, Geri always knew that she wanted to be an artist with fond memories of sitting upon her fathers knee as he demonstrated his drawing skills.
After leaving school however, she diverted away from her artistic path to pursue other vocations such as general nursing, receptionist work, and retail. With a long dormant period away from her art she was suddenly “awakened” during a period of recuperation after a serious push bike accident. It was as though a magnet had pulled her towards her pencils again where she began drawing pictures of Australian wildlife. This is how her career as a wildlife artist began where she had her works published as prints and also greeting cards by various companies as well as selling original works to private buyers. Other areas have included book illustration, hand-painted T-shirts for children and cartoons/caricatures.
For many years she has dreamt of making a contribution for animal conservation
Through her work and now that dream has come true. Along with other artists and photographers her illustration of a male Orangutan is now a feature for the FNPF in Borneo, Indonesia. Geri also supports IFAW , the WWF and Greenpeace. The artist is also a signature member of the prestigious Worldwide Nature artists Group.
