Cockatoos in the Canopy

Cockatoos in the Canopy is a vibrant contemporary abstract inspired by the joyful presence of Australian cockatoos in the gum trees. Layers of expressive colour and simplified forms transform the familiar bush landscape into an energetic celebration of Australia's unique wildlife.
Bold pinks, luminous blues, warm reds and glowing yellows dance across the canvas, evoking the changing light of the Australian landscape and the brilliant blossoms of native eucalypts. The cockatoos emerge from the abstract composition, inviting the viewer to pause and discover them amongst the colourful canopy.

Balancing movement with tranquillity, this artwork blends abstraction with recognisable Australian forms, creating a piece that is both playful and sophisticated. Perfect for collectors who love contemporary Australian art, native birds and expressive colour, it brings warmth, optimism and a distinctly Australian character to any home.

I have been drawing as long as I can remember and started art school at what is now known as TAFE when first I left school .
However , the convoluted path of life led me to become a Registered Nurse. Being able to work part time has allowed me more spare time and I have rediscovered my creative side .

I have always loved Australias natural environment and especially our beautiful native birds.

I have dabbled in painting , ceramics and print making courses in the past, but I find the convenience of hand drawing and painting on a digital art canvas suits me well as I can easily take my materials anywhere I go and immediately draw and colour while out amongst the birds and the trees.
The birds are often my favourite subject but I also draw from my many experiences of travelling in Asia and Australia.

Thank you for taking the time to read about what inspires me.

I can honestly say that creating these images brings me a lot of joy and I would love to share this with others.
