This very elegant scarlet honeyeater was all dressed up in his finery and ready to go to the Huntington Music Festival as part of the exhibition there. He enjoyed the music very much and decided to move to Sydney with a complete stranger he met at said music festival. I shall miss him. Tea-tottering Scarlet […]
Project Type: Birds
Mixed Flock Pardalote
I love over the top wallpaper, so I decided to do a series dedicated to fab wallpaper designs with a bit of bling… and to me, the ultimate blingy wallpaper is flocked wallpaper. Perfect to pair with mini birds. This is number one in my mixed flock… the spotted pardalote. I intended them to be […]

Ring a Rosie (Eastern Rosella) 2018

Such Galahs! 2018
I feel a galah’s aim in life to have as much fun as they possibly can… and what could be more fun that dangling precariously off some finely detailed Liberty print bunting. Such Galahs! 2018 Watercolour on Handmade 100% Cotton Paper Paper size 56cm x 80cm Private Collection
Tug of War 2018
I love watching our wild magpie babies playing in the yard. They especially like to unravel things and would often see siblings playing tug of war. In my Garden Party, it is a tug of war with Liberty print bunting. Tug of War 2018 Watercolour on Handmade 100% Cotton Paper Paper size 56cm x 80cm Available through Milk […]
Seeing Eye to Eye 2018
The only bird who seems to have more fun than galahs is the short billed corella, again, causing chaos from some Liberty print fabric bunting. They travel in large flocks causing chaos wherever they went. Seeing Eye to Eye Watercolour on Handmade 100% Cotton Paper Paper size 56cm x 80cm Private Collection
A Bunting We Will Go 2018
Often perched along power lines, kookaburras use their keen eyesight to look out for the tiniest of movements far below which may indicate some tasty morsel waiting for them. They then swoop down and grab their treat as a reward for their patience and diligence. A Bunting We Will Go Watercolour on Handmade 100% Cotton Paper Paper size 62cm […]
Passionfruit Cheesecake 2018
This beautiful barn owl is using a passionfruit cheesecake to attract this antechinus, a type of marsupial mouse, for what purpose I am not entirely sure… the tea set is Staffordshire Ellesmere Passionfruit Cheesecake Watercolour on Handmade 100% Cotton Paper Paper size 62cm x 46cm Private Collection
Vanilla Slice 2018
I don’t know why, but when I see a juvenile brown goshawk I just think their striped pantaloons look like the decoration on a fancy vanilla slice, and vice versa or should that be Versace…. as that is a Versace Ikarus Vanity Tea Set that that vanilla slice is sitting on… of course! Not so scary now! Originally […]
