Artwork Description

This Magpie stands facing the viewer, its direct gaze creating a quiet moment of connection. There is a sense of mutual awareness — of seeing, and being seen.
Within my book MAGPIE: Animal Spirit Journey Companion, I describe how the Magpie invites us to become more present and aware of our inner world. Magpie Encounter reflects those moments when nature seems to meet our gaze, reminding us that connection begins when we stop, notice and reflect.”
~ Leni Kae, Australian artist. Animal Spirit Series

Watercolour and mixed media on archival paper (approx 19.5 × 31 cm). Requires framing.

Artist Bio

Leni Kae is a Sydney-based Australian watercolour artist, author and illustrator, known for her expressive Australian bird art, Animal Spirit paintings and atmospheric abstract landscapes. Her artwork has been recognised as a finalist in numerous Australian art prizes, including the Southern Ocean Art Prize 2026, Du Rietz Art Awards 2025, Lake Art Prize 2022, Heysen Prize for Landscape 2020 and Mandorla Art Award 2020.

Inspired by nature, symbolism and inner awareness, Leni's multidisciplinary practice spans Australian bird paintings, wildlife art, abstract landscapes and Greek mythology-inspired works. Working primarily in watercolour and mixed media, she combines fluid movement, luminous colour and intuitive mark-making to explore the connections between nature and our inner experiences.

AUSTRALIAN BIRDS & ANIMAL SPIRIT

Featuring native birds including magpies, galahs, black cockatoos and kookaburras, Leni's Animal Spirit paintings explore the character and symbolism of Australian wildlife, inviting moments of reflection, connection and discovery.
