Quirky Cockatoo

'Quirky Cockatoo' was influenced by my love of all things native. It is a great way to bring a splash of colour into the home. It is painted on timber so the true smooth qualities of the thick acrylic paint and layering can be seen. The quirkiness comes from the frazzled feathers, splashes of colour and the bold eye.

I am a self taught Australian artist from Ipswich, QLD. I enjoy all aspects of art but am most passionate about natural and native flora and fauna. I love earthy tones and pops of colour. I also enjoy architectural drawings and adding character to everyday homes. I enjoy using all different mediums from acrylic on timber, to water paints. I was born and raised in Brisbane surrounded by my mothers artistic influence. I was free to try new things and encouraged to do so from an early age. Many aspects of life change but my love for art and expression has only developed. I have further grown my roots in the Ipswich area by building a home and career as a midwife. I continue to self teach and reflect on work I have done and learn what makes my heart happy. I paint my pieces in a dedicated art space in our home that is full of natural light and inspiration with gumtrees surrounding.
