"I create detailed pen and ink, also coloured pencil artworks of Australia's birdlife to inspire joy, appreciation, and hopefully conservation of our natural world, fostering a legacy of harmony between humanity and nature."
"Do you notice the birdsong every morning, as I do? I'd love to share my latest work inspired by these beautiful creatures."
"My primary interests lie in Australian birds and wildlife. I specialize in creating signature art using pen and ink, which requires meticulous attention and many hours of dedication. Recently, I have been incorporating insects into my pieces and experimenting with collage to add depth and texture to my work."
You can find my work: archival prints, cards, and some originals pieces available at The Essence, a unique store housing several small businesses in Merimbula. Make sure to visit when you're in the area!" Im not ordering new prints at the moment but stay tuned for new ways to find my work.
A few years ago, I participated in an online workshop to educate myself about the Gang Gang Cockatoo (Callocephalon fimbriatum Cacatuidae), which sadly has been on the threatened species list but its decline has been observed for many years.
I have completed a series of artworks featuring this remarkable cockatoo, all of my originals have been sold. I do sell prints and cards at @theessenceofourmerimbula. Updates on new pieces will be featured in my monthly newsletter, as these birds have deeply inspired me.
We can all contribute in small ways to support these birds in our gardens. If you live in the Gang-gangs' known territory, there are several actions you can take:
Provide clean water for all birds.
Protect known nesting tree hollows.
Educate yourself on their preferred food sources and plant native species in your garden.
If you see a Gang Gang, you can submit an incident report via https://birdata.birdlife.org.au. Download the app and report sightings to contribute valuable data for conservation efforts. There is still much to learn about this species.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have a conservation idea maybe we could collaborate.
