Ursula
Kiessling
Born
and educated in Hamburg, Germany, Ursula Kiessling and her family came to
Australia in 1983. A naive painter, Ursula soon found a way to express her
fascination with the vastly different environment of her new home country, in
particular the outback, with it unique flora and fauna. Ursula's art has been
exhibited in South Australia and interstate. She is a multiple Waterhouse and
Heysen Prize finalist. Ursula lives in Adelaide if she is not out bush looking
for inspiration
Conservation Statement
“I wholeheartedly
support conservation of natural environments. I just hope we do not end up with
a totally developed world with pockets of nature in conservation parks, as so
hauntingly described by Franz Werfel in his 'Star of the Unborn'. However, I
also believe in the power of nature to reinstate itself given a chance.
Meanwhile, every effort at conservation is of utmost importance.”
