Perched Poolside Painting

Aidan Weichard (b. 1986, Gembrook, Australia) is a Gippsland-based artist, whose creative process is ever-evolving, with the constant being his subject matter. Native Australian flora and fauna are commonly depicted in his works and are symbolic of his affection toward the Australian landscape. Growing up in the hills amidst the rainforest and all its inhabitants, his love for wildlife’s incredible energy is something that’s been subconsciously ticking away in his mind since he was young. He has always drawn ever since he can remember and somehow his work always came out in the form of animals - a passion that has stuck! Together with Aidan’s wife, children, Australian Shepherds, horses and chickens, he now call a little hobby farm tucked away on the cusp of Gippsland home. In this space, he is surrounded by what constantly inspires Aidan – his beautiful animals and the stunning Gippsland region. Aidan has been painting professionally for the last 10 years, with 5 of them as a full-time artist. He has refined his style over time, and is now proudly selling his work to wonderful collectors all over the world and running solo exhibitions across the country.
