Author Biography

Waltraud Nawratil was born in Syria in 1947. Since the 1980s, she has lived with her family – her husband and children – in Schönering, Upper Austria. Her garden serves as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for her painting work.
In 1995 Waltraud started painting at a local primary school, where, searching for new challenges, she attended a watercolour painting course. She worked mainly with flower designs due to the bold, intense colours, but soon went on to include more designs from the entire palette of nature, such as tree-lined avenues and floral landscapes. Over time, she attended further painting courses to develop her technique and experiment with different media and materials. 
Nature in Watercolour is the third of Waltraud's titles to be translated into English and published by Search Press.
