All art by Karen Farmer

Lovable, larrikin’s and friends if you’re lucky to have them know you . Aussie icons and an important part of our unique landscape, both urban and rural. . The traditional magpie poem states that seeing two magpies means joy, perhaps because they have found their one and only, partner in crime and forever partner. Beautiful resilient Australian iconic magpie who are an integral part of our urban landscape The iconic and much loved Australian magpie is my muse. I paint them onto retired street signs in a nod to their ability to adapt to the urban environment and human made landscape.
