Break of Day

The day begins with a familiar sound—the unmistakable calls of two cheeky cockatoos announcing their presence long before the world has fully awakened. At the Break of Day captures that energetic morning encounter, celebrating the personality, intelligence, and charisma that make these birds such beloved members of Australia's wildlife.

Created using my signature pen-and-ink technique, this artwork is rich with intricate detail and layered collage elements. Hand-drawn leaves, insects, and botanical forms are woven throughout the composition, creating a visual tapestry that reflects the interconnected beauty of the natural world. The longer you spend with the piece, the more hidden details emerge, inviting closer observation and discovery.

I am continually fascinated by the way pen and ink can bring a subject to life. The contrast, texture, and fine detail allow the cockatoos to command attention while remaining deeply connected to their environment. The layered collage approach adds depth and complexity, transforming the artwork into a celebration of both the birds and the habitat that supports them.

Featured in the Beyond the Ordinary Exhibition 2026, Break of Day reflects my ongoing exploration of Australia's birdlife and the intricate ecosystems that surround us.
