Oenone became deeply committed and involved with conservation of wildlife and
wilderness in particular rain forest conservation following her travels to rain forests all
over the world in the 1980’s. Oenone exhibited her paintings from her trips to raise
money and awareness for conservation.
In 1993 Oenone married a US Foreign Service diplomat and they lived in Africa for
many years, followed by Greece then Australia. In the early years Oenone’s focus
was to depict detailed paintings in watercolour and gouache of animals and birds
to show the beauty of wildlife in all its glory and colour. Recently Oenone has been
working in oils on canvas producing semi-abstract paintings with natural themes in
bolder larger more powerful work.
Oenone has been exhibiting her work regularly since 1980. She is a member of the
National Association of Women Artists and her paintings have won awards in Washington
D.C and Florida.
