Artwork Description

As an artist that thrives on taking her own reference photos, there are many frustrating walks where there is simply no bird to photograph. On this day, I managed to snap just a single photo, of the always gorgeous superb fairy-wren. In honour of his ubiquitous, but, today, singular appearance, I drew this in celebration.

At A3, this pen and watercolour piece is many times larger than the actual bird in real life, but it provides a beautiful focal point for any room. It’s full of fine detail but draws the eye to the bird. Perfect for lovers of wrens, Australian birdlife or nature!

I am a contemporary Australian artist based in North-Central Victoria, and my work celebrates the natural environment of my local region. Inspired by native birdlife, flora, wildlife and landscapes, I create original artworks that balance careful observation with expressive mark-making. Working primarily with pen, watercolour and occasionally acrylic, my practice explores texture, form and colour to evoke a strong sense of place and connection to the natural world.

Immersed in the bushland and regional landscapes of Dja Dja Wurrung Country, I draw inspiration from close observation and ongoing engagement with my surroundings. My works often begin with field observation and reference imagery, developing into detailed illustrations and vibrant paintings that reflect both the delicacy and resilience of Australian ecosystems. Familiar species and environments are rendered with clarity and warmth, inviting viewers to pause and reconnect with the everyday beauty of nature.

I seek to foster appreciation for Australia’s natural environment, creating works that are accessible, contemplative and grounded in place.

I am available for commissioned pet portraits in my pen and watercolour illustration style. Feel free to ask about additional photographs or details about an artwork.
