Artwork Description

This little rainforest bird ( Symposiarchus trivirgatus) is a small insect eating bird, found all along the wetter areas of Queensland in gullies, in vegetation near waterways, mangroves and rainforests.

I am doing a series of small birds that are not that common and this colourful and unique little bird fits my criteria.

Artist Bio

Ngaire is an Australian self taught artist and is studying classical art theory. She creates beautifully rendered artworks using a variety of mediums preferring oil paints to take advantage of classical glazing techniques.

Ngaire has been in awe of nature her whole life. Her signature style is capturing ‘the essence’ of her subject, the dance her colours create, how they meld into a symphonic and technical playfulness and the poses chosen to emphasize the subjects unique beauty. Her maturing technical ability and compositional components aids her artworks to have a ‘timeless expression of beauty and joy’.

Ngaire’s portraits of nature are much admired nationally and internationally. Although still an emerging artist, Her artworks have already been collected throughout Australia, the UK and in China with commissions in Beijing.

In 2017, her creativity was translated into brass plates mounted in pavers as a permanent public art pavement piece at the Grand Central Shopping Centre in Toowoomba, Australia to honour the Indigenous owners of the land, the Giabal and Jarrowair people.

Commissions

Ngaire's studio is in Toowoomba, Queensland.
