David Plant

David Plant is a seasoned Australian artist based in Rockhampton, Queensland, celebrated for his unique Australiana artworks that blend humor, realism, and abstraction. With over 35 years of artistic experience, David’s work often features comical portrayals of native Australian animals, especially emus in whimsical scenarios that reflect the charm and humor of Australian culture.

Working across mediums such as pastels, acrylics, and oils, David brings his vibrant characters to life with a distinctive style that captures both personality and place. His notable pieces, including Postcard from Australia, Emus of the Outback, and The Emu Mob, showcase his playful storytelling and deep connection to the Australian landscape.

David is a regular contributor to local art events like the Rockhampton River Festival and offers his work through online platforms including Bluethumb and his official store, where he also accepts personalised commissions.
