Australian native birds captured in watercolour.
I came to the art world painting birds - our favourites like cockatoos, magpies, and gang gangs. My mum hand-raised them, and I helped her rear a yellow-tail black cockatoo that used to preen my eyelashes (his name is Garp). Painted in watercolour, these artworks capture the intricacy and vibrancy of their feathers, as well as their dynamic character.

An inflight capture of one of those cheeky, screechy Sulphur Crests who like to swoop in front of my car and dangle from the powerlines overhead. There's a woman in my street who feeds them, so I see them almost every day. As I am from WA, I never saw them on the loose like this until I moved to Canberra. I love their charisma, and the expressiveness of the brilliant yellow crest.

Gang Gangs are the ACT’s faunal emblem. I painted this lady in a slightly different style than my usual work, using ink to render her intricate barred feathers. It took me six weeks (and two attempts) to finish. She is now accompanied by Sir Gang Gang, her mate.

I have a special fondness for these birds. They used to fill the sky at my childhood home near Perth in flocks so big they took five minutes to pass. I also know them to be the most gentle of birds, because I helped to hand-raise one. His name is Garp, and he loved preening my eyelashes.

I painted this for my nephew, who lists emus amongst his favourite animals. I love the character of these birds, and want to paint more! The most stylised of my paintings, this has been popular as a gift for both kids and adults.

I’ve finished my long-awaited pair of yellow-tail black cockatoos (Zanda funerea). They’re a breeding pair, with some tell-tale differences. The female has a bone-grey beak and eye rings, and the male sports a dark grey beak and brighter red eyeliner.
You will find these beauties across the Eastern coast of Australia, from Queensland through to South Australia. They love coastal bushland and are rarely found close to cities, though if you’re lucky you can spot them at the outskirts of Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. These cockatoos have a distinctly loud wail (once you recognize it you can’t mistake it) and a deep relaxed wingbeat. They band together as they fly long-distance over the bushland.
I wanted to bring out their lively personalities and grace in this painting. They’re big birds with a big voice, confident in the air, and unafraid in their environment. The male plays in the air ready to dive-bomb his partner, while she balances on her high and spindly perch with tail spread and wings ready. A game will follow.
