About Cary McAulay 

Born 1963 Innisfail (Mamu Country) Queensland.  Cary mostly drew in biro from the age of 4 until his first oil painting at the age of 16. With the strong foundation of the values of drawing when he began painting there was an explosion of bright colour in his art. The creative flood-gates had opened!

The youngest of 8 in an artistic family with 2 other artists and an author as siblings, Cary had plenty of encouragement to be an artist and has always identified as one. Following early successes – winning several art shows, Cary was encouraged to become a professional artist by his family at the age of 22.

Cary has won many Art Awards all over Australia, ranging from The Portland Art Prize, The Inaugural Calvary Art Prize and more recently the Bendemeer Art Prize (twice).

“With my art, I focus on the beauty of our environment and our effect we have upon the natural world.”
