Nice Catch

Inspired by my love of the beautiful Australian birds, this piece was created for the Royal Brisbane Show art competition. My process of collage and abstract backgrounds was used and gradually built up to the star attraction of the Kingfishers. She is waiting in my home studio for her forever home.

The burst of turquoise, emerald, and coral symbolises clarity and courage — a reminder that abundance rewards those who dive fearlessly into life’s depths. Each droplet becomes a metaphor for possibility, each feather a stroke of divine artistry.

This is nature’s ballet — where motion meets stillness, and instinct becomes art.
