Magpie Spirit

‘Magpie Spirit’ is part of Leni Kae’s ‘Animal Spirit’ series, exploring the deeper messages and energies animals carry into our lives. Painted in watercolour and mixed media, with expressive drips and splashes, this piece captures a magpie mid-flight—wings fully outstretched, rising into open sky.

“ In flight, the magpie becomes a messenger of transformation and truth, its movement symbolising the lift into greater awareness. This work invites connection to instinct, freedom, and the sacred moment of awakening.” ~ Leni Kae
