Fly Like a Bird Egret Australian Birds Wildlife

I've lost some dear friends over the past year and when I saw this Egret I just had to paint him....Flying high and free into the heavens like my friends. The song Fly Like a Bird came to mind.

"Fly Like a Bird" was a captivating song written and performed by the talented musician Boz Scaggs. This timeless tune holds a special place in the hearts of many music enthusiasts, with its soulful lyrics and mesmerizing melody. As a renowned artist, Scaggs has always had a knack for crafting deeply emotional and thought-provoking songs, and Fly Like a Bird is no exception."

Based on Coochiemudlo, a smaller island situated approximately a kilometre off the coast of Queensland, between Brisbane and North Stradbroke Island, Millie, an award winning artist, is innately influenced by the abundance of foliage and wildlife that inhabit her locality.
Unbound to a sole medium or creative methodology, her depictions align with the subject’s intrinsic elements and resonance. Millie paints in a way that depicts her thoughts and feelings of the subject, which has helped her tremendously throughout her adult life and experiences.
“There is no grief as you embrace and involve yourself deeply within the subject of your painting,” Millie states after the passing of her only son in 2003. “Painting was a lifesaving form of comfort at the time of my son’s passing, and continues to be up to the present moment.”
Millie possesses a BA in Fine Arts from Charles Sturt University and a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Queensland.
