Bert - Australian Red-tailed Black Cockatoo

Bert – Black Cockatoo (Red-Tailed, Male)
Bold, regal, and full of character, Bert captures the striking beauty of one of Australia’s most captivating native birds – the male Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo. His deep charcoal plumage shimmers with iridescent blues and greens, offset by intricate feather detail and a glint of curiosity in his amber eye. Painted with layered brushwork and a soft, textured background, this piece celebrates both the majesty and gentle spirit of this iconic species.

Perfect for bird lovers, collectors of Australian wildlife art, or anyone wanting to bring a touch of the bush into their home, Bert is a conversation piece that radiates life, elegance, and personality.

Moving from the big smoke has given Michelle the opportunity to pursue a passion for Art that she had left behind decades ago, and at 50 decided it was time to see 'if I still had it’... Michelle studied Art in High School, but I’d never dared to pursue it as a career, until she did! Studing Art Therapy in 2019 Michelle was encouraged to pick up a paint brush and it changed her life!

Living on the NSW South Coast, Michelle enjoys the sounds of our Kookaburra’s laughing, the screeching Lorikeets and the warbling Magpies and this has inspired her to paint their vibrancy that is captured in her Art.

​When Michelle is not painting she is encouraging others to get in touch with their own creativity by picking up a paint brush, get their hands in the paint and enjoy an “Expressive Art Experience” (or two)... Thanks to Michelle's Art journey, she has been able to find her true essence and now helps others do the same.
