Artwork Description

There is nothing quite like the spectacle of a flock of birds taking off out of the scrub. The screeching, the colour, the flapping and the thrill of seeing birds in such numbers enjoying their native habitat is always a source of inspiration for me.
This flock of galahs were enjoying a late afternoon feed amongst the grasses in our campsite on the road into Uluru when we disturbed them. The beautiful red soil, darkened by an overnight shower of rain but lit with bright sunshine, added to the picture.
Painted in acrylics on canvas, this classic Australian outback image is sealed with a satin varnish and framed in a natural oak frame, ready to hang straight on your wall.

Artist Bio

I live in the picturesque Adelaide Hills where I paint and teach from my home studio, ' The Dairy Studio/Gallery '.
I have undergone lessons with Adelaide artists Viv Newcombe and Sylvia Preston.
Although the journey to where I am now has been both rewarding and frustrating, I have slowly built up my skills and confidence to the point where I exhibit and sell my work. I love to paint in watercolours and acrylics and love to experiment with texture and additional materials to create mixed media artworks. My inspiration is drawn from the wonders of creation and total contentment comes whilst being absorbed in the process of creating new works.
I have exhibited my work throughout Adelaide and regional South Australia and held a solo exhibition in 2010 at 'Gallery M' and in 2018 at my home studio. I have also exhibited in the very popular South Australian SALA Festival on many occasions.
I also enjoy being a member of the ' Willunga Arts Collective ' who exhibit in The Glass Studio in rural Willunga SA.
