Janine Mackintosh is a visual artist who creates unique assemblages using found natural materials, mainly collected from her heritage bush property on the wild south coast of Kangaroo Island. She began her art practice by employing the techniques of museum plant collections but her pieces have since departed radically from tradition. Three times winner of the People’s Choice Award of the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, her primary motivation is to highlight conservation issues through her preservation artwork.
