Artwork Description

Family portrait is a family of sulphur crested cockatoos painted on a deep edge stretched canvas with black painted the side.

The tones with background remind me of the old back drops used for the old family photo shoots. I sat down to paint a pair on this canvas and then it grew into a little family of four.

The painting comes ready to hang. Please note it is not framed as pictured in the in situ photo's but it can be framed through the new Bluethumb framing service.

Artist Bio

I am an artist based in Wollongong, NSW, I grew up here between the mountains and the sea. My passion lies in painting with bright and bold colours, Australian native animals, especially birds make up a lot of my inspiration, though I also like to explore flora and still life subjects. I like to accentuate the hints of colour I see within my subject matter. I love painting with a palette knife and I use mainly acrylic paints on stetched canvas.

I love to add texture to the canvas with deliberate strokes that give the subject matter definition without it always being obvious. I am a full time artist working from my home studio on the South Coast. I find great inspiration from daily beach and bush walks and I can't imagine a life where I was not able to be creative everyday, and I feel truley blessed to be on this journey.
