      <image:caption>Max - Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo Max arrived at exactly the right moment. I was sitting in my studio wondering whether I was really good enough to make a career from my art when a Sulphur-crested Cockatoo landed on the balcony railing outside. They never do that. He stayed for ages, watching me as I watched him. I knew then I had to paint a cockatoo. The drama of this one stopped me — that enormous yellow crest, his wonderfully puffed feathers hiding his beak and the calm, watchful look in his eye. I kept the background dark and quiet, giving him room to be exactly what he is — impossible to ignore. I called him Max for his unapologetic look at me attitude. For me, Max is a reminder to keep going and trust the work, and to keep noticing the wild around us, because perhaps that's where caring begins.

      <image:caption>Sparky - Gang-gang Cockatoo Sparky began with a request. After seeing Banjo, my Gang-gang cockatoo who went on to win the People's Choice Award at the Thirroul Art Festival 2026, a local couple asked if I could paint a Gang-gang of their own. He started with a similar feel, that incredible scarlet head and crest emerging against the dark background, but somewhere along the way he became entirely himself. There's something knowing about that eye. Not just cheeky, knowing. And I love the tiny remnants of his last meal still clinging to his beak. These birds deserve to be seen. Sparky reminded me of that all over again.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kyah - Black-tailed Red Cockatoo For my birthday last year, my husband surprised me with a black cockatoo encounter at Feathered Friends in Bargo. Birds I'd only ever watched high in the trees, or in photos, were suddenly sitting on my arm, landing on my head, and looking me straight in the eye. I was ridiculously happy! They're funny, curious, playful birds, and being that close to them felt almost impossible. There was no distance anymore. No looking up into the branches hoping for a glimpse. They were right there, choosing to be with me. That feeling stayed with me when I painted Kyah. I kept coming back to her eye. I wanted her to look back. For that wild crest and those scattered gold flecks to carry some of the joy, mischief and character I'd seen up close. And perhaps that's why the eye matters so much. Because once you've looked at one of these birds that closely, once you've seen how much someone is in there, it's much harder to hear how much trouble Australia's black cockatoos are in and let it remain just another fact. You know exactly what we stand to lose. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 76cm x 92cm (30"x36") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bonnie - Koala A koala can sleep for most of the day, curled into the fork of a eucalypt, completely dependent on the trees around her. The trouble begins when she wakes up and those trees are gone. Not far from me in Appin, development continues to push into koala habitat. Fences have been built to protect them from the road, along with an under-road crossing intended to give them safe passage. There are signs telling us to watch out for koalas. But I keep coming back to the same question: where are they supposed to go? That was in my mind when I painted Bonnie. I wanted her exactly where a koala should be — settled into her tree, sleepy, soft and completely unconcerned with us. There's a particular pain in painting that sense of safety when you know how easily we can take it away. I think that's why Bonnie feels so peaceful to me. She's asleep in her tree. I just want it to still be there when she wakes up. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Banjo - Gang-gang Cockatoo Banjo was my first large Gang-gang cockatoo painting, and I wanted him to be impossible to ignore. That extraordinary scarlet head against the darkness, the wild sweep of his crest, the intricate grey barring of his feathers. But it was his eye that brought him to life. There's a curiosity there, a little attitude, and the unmistakable character that makes Gang-gangs so special. I already loved these birds, but painting Banjo at this scale made me look even closer. Gang-gangs mate for life, have that wonderfully strange creaky-door call, and after the devastation of the 2019-20 NSW bushfires, they're now endangered. Banjo went on to win the People's Choice Award at the Thirroul Art Festival 2026. That meant a lot to me. People didn't just walk past him. They stopped. They looked. They saw him. And really, that's the whole point. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 76cm x 76cm (30"x30") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Eddie - Emu I went all the way to the Australian outback looking for an emu and didn't see a single one. Uluru, Alice Springs, all the way up to Darwin. I was so excited about seeing these incredible birds out in the wild, in their own country. Eddie, apparently, had other plans. Maybe that's part of what I love about wildlife. You can go looking for it, but it doesn't owe you an appearance. There's something wonderful about knowing it's out there somewhere, getting on with its life whether you're there to witness it or not. So I painted Eddie instead. And it was that face I wanted to capture. The head tilted slightly to one side, the unruly feathers and those enormous orange eyes staring straight back at you. There's something inquisitive about him, as though he's trying to work you out rather than the other way around. He's quirky, curious and just a little bit pleased with himself. I crossed the country hoping to find him. In the end, he found his way onto my canvas instead. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Archie - Superb fairy-wren Archie came home with me from Tasmania, in a way. Superb fairy-wrens seemed to be everywhere we went, these tiny flashes of brilliant blue darting through the landscape, and I completely fell in love with them. Then, once we were home, I started noticing them around the beach near us. They'd probably been there all along. I just hadn't been looking for them. I ask for signs sometimes. From the universe, from the people I've loved and lost. And I've come to think of birds as one of the ways those signs arrive. So when the wrens kept appearing, I paid attention. That's one of the things I love about Archie. He's a reminder of what happens when something captures your attention. Suddenly you see it everywhere. And sometimes what you're seeing is more than a bird. He's hard not to notice. That extraordinary blue against the warm background, those tiny legs carrying far more personality than seems possible. Sometimes the wild doesn't suddenly appear. Sometimes we simply learn to see it. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bruce - Wombat Bruce looks like a big, soft ball of fur. But he's not. He's a solid ball of resilience and power. There's so much more to wombats beyond the things that make them wonderfully weird: backwards-facing pouches, armour-like backsides and, of course, square poo. I've developed a whole new respect for them through following a wombat wildlife carer. As babies they're completely dependent on their carers, then come the zoomies, the moods, and the wombat teenage years. Eventually they pull away, becoming less social and more independent. After years of care, that's the goal. They're ready to be wild. When I painted Bruce, I wanted that resilience behind the beautiful nose, little ears and stubbornly determined face. He looks like he doesn't need anyone. And that's exactly the point. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:title>Wild Australia</image:title>
      <image:caption>Charlie - Pink Cockatoo How can you beat a crest like that? Charlie looks like he’s dressed for a party and already knows he’s the centre of attention. On our trip from Uluru and Alice Springs up to Darwin, I desperately hoped to see Pink Cockatoos in the wild. Like Eddie the Emu, they remained frustratingly elusive. Maybe that made me want to paint one even more. Pink Cockatoos mate for life, and pairs return to the same tree hollows year after year to raise their young. Some can live for decades. There’s something incredibly moving about that kind of attachment to each other and to a place — especially when those places are disappearing. They live across the vast, open landscapes of inland Australia, yet they need far more space than you might imagine to successfully breed. Just because we don’t see them doesn’t mean they’re doing fine. Sometimes the wildlife furthest from view needs us to pay attention most.

      <image:caption>Spike - Echidna We were in Tasmania when we spotted an echidna waddling along the side of the road. We pulled the car over just to watch him, completely absorbed in that determined little walk as he went about his business. Then we came home and I started seeing them everywhere around Batemans Bay, where we spend lots of weekends with Mum. Funny how once an animal captures your attention, you suddenly notice it all around you. Echidnas are wonderfully strange — egg-laying mammals with no teeth or nipples, sticky tongues, spines that are actually modified hairs and babies called puggles. What's not to love? With Spike, though, I wanted all those spines to lead you somewhere else — straight to those bright little eyes and that wonderful nose. All those spikes, and somehow it's that little face that gets you. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kev - Kookaburra Kookaburras have always been part of my world. Growing up, they were everywhere. Even now, when we're bushwalking they'll often follow us along, moving from tree to tree as though they're keeping an eye on things. I've come to think of them as the neighbourhood watch of the bush. But they mean something more to me now. After Dad died in 2024, a kookaburra appeared at a moment when I needed it, and I took it as a sign he was still around. Since then, birds seem to turn up at just the right time. I don't question it anymore. Kev feels like an old friend checking in, keeping watch — just to make sure everything's okay.

      <image:caption>Merri - Eastern Grey Kangaroo Merri is an Eastern Grey, and around Batemans Bay they're part of everyday life. One of my favourite things about driving to Mum's is seeing them stretched out in the grass, lazing in the sun or hopping casually down the street at sunset. And yes, roo poo everywhere. But there's another side to seeing them so often. Housing keeps pushing further into the places they've always lived, leaving kangaroos navigating roads, fences, backyards and people. Seeing them in our streets isn't always because they've moved into our world. Often, we've moved into theirs. They were here first. The least we can do is leave them room to move.

      <image:caption>Billy - Budgerigar Billy takes me straight back to childhood. We always had birds growing up, including budgies. They started out in cages inside before Dad built them an aviary, so birds, wild and not, have always been part of my life. I love Billy's expression. He's not posing. He's watching. There's an alertness in that eye, as though he's taking everything in and could be gone in a flutter of blue at any moment. Wild budgerigars are naturally green and yellow; the beautiful blues we know as pets came through selective breeding. You wouldn't normally see a blue budgie in the Australian wild unless an escaped pet had found its way there. Billy is both. Beloved and wild. Tame enough to sit still. Free enough to vanish.

We'd hoped to see devils in the wild while travelling around Tasmania. The night we'd planned to go looking it was snowing, so common sense won and we met them at a wildlife sanctuary instead. Tasmanian devils are endangered, their populations devastated by Devil Facial Tumour Disease, a rare contagious cancer passed between devils. There's something heartbreaking about the possibility of losing an animal found nowhere else in the wild. A little wild, a little weird, and far too special to lose.

      <image:title>Wild Australia</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Pelicans There's something about a pelican. Enormous, unhurried, completely unbothered by the world around them. Australian pelicans are extraordinary. They're Australia's largest flying bird and have the longest bill of any bird in the world. They're also incredibly adaptable, nomadic birds found wherever there's enough water and fish to sustain them — from coastal beaches and estuaries to inland waterways. And despite their size, they seem perfectly comfortable living alongside us. Perched rather ridiculously on top of a street light, gathered along the shoreline, or hanging around a fisherman hoping for a share of the day's catch. Big, unmistakable and wonderfully Australian.

      <image:caption>Grey Nurse Shark This was a commission with a difference. The owner had taken the underwater photograph himself, and my job was to translate his encounter into paint — including the shimmering yellowtail scad moving around this incredible shark. Grey nurse sharks look intimidating, with needle-like teeth visible even when their mouths are closed, but they're generally slow-moving, docile sharks and pose little threat to divers. Schools of fish often gather around them, creating scenes just like this one. But they're also incredibly vulnerable. Females produce a maximum of just two pups at a time, usually breeding only every second year, which means populations recover painfully slowly when numbers are lost. The animals that look most dangerous are sometimes the most fragile. Grey nurse sharks are both. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 50cm x 76cm (20"x30") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pelicans at Sunset There's something special about these two. Standing together at the water's edge as the sun goes down, looking out in the same direction. I love the warmth of the sunset against those beautiful pink bills and the feeling of stillness between them. Australian pelicans are such familiar birds around our beaches and waterways, but familiar doesn't make them ordinary. Two extraordinary birds, side by side, watching the day disappear.

      <image:caption>Rusty - Gang-gang Cockatoo Rusty was my first Gang-gang cockatoo. I fell in love with the sheer red-ness of him. That incredible head and crest, the upright pose, the almost regal way he holds himself. He's not trying to impress anyone. He's just doing his thing and looking fabulous while he does it. He also earned me a Highly Commended Award at the 2025 Thirroul Art Festival. I was completely floored. There were extraordinary paintings in that room, and Rusty held his own among all of them. But more than that, he started something. He inspired me to paint Banjo, who went on to win the People's Choice Award at Thirroul in 2026, and eventually Sparky, a commission that came from someone seeing Banjo. One magnificent red head, and the beginning of a story I didn't know I was starting. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 20cm x 25cm (8"x10") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>King has the kind of strength that doesn't need to be shown. There's a calmness to him, a quiet confidence, as he looks into the distance, watching, waiting, completely sure of himself. He arrived slowly, layer by layer, built from warm gold, russet and deep shadow. A lot of layers. But through all of it, the eyes were always there, pulling focus, holding the whole thing together. That's how I knew he was becoming himself. There's a reason the lion has long been a symbol of strength and courage. King seemed to carry all of that naturally. He didn't need to roar. He just needed to look. Acrylic and oil on canvas - 76cm x 76cm (30"x30") - Original</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Wolf. He's my origin story. Maybe that's why I've always felt such a connection to wolves. He's my spirit animal, and somehow this painting feels like the beginning of something that still runs through my work today. That direct, unwavering stare that seems to look straight through you. I wanted him to have an intensity that was impossible to look away from, and from the very first layer, the eyes were the centre of everything. The fur, the markings built around them, stroke by stroke, layer by layer, until he became himself. Wolf was the painting that made me want to chase that same feeling in every animal that came after him. Not just to paint what they looked like, but something of who they were.

      <image:title>Other Wild Places</image:title>
      <image:caption>Harry looks like he has something to say. That serious face, those deep brown eyes, looking straight at you as though he's waiting for you to understand. There's something incredibly special about chimpanzees: intelligent, expressive, and so familiar in ways that are hard to ignore. With Harry, it's all there in his face. What he's trying to tell us, I'm still not sure. Maybe he's not waiting for us to understand him. Maybe he's waiting for us to pay attention.

      <image:caption>This one makes me smile every time. For our 23rd wedding anniversary, my husband and I went on our first camel ride. What I didn't expect was Camille. She had absolutely no interest in staying in the line, spent the entire ride trying to get to the front and do her own thing, and had us in stitches the whole time. There's something about their faces that makes me laugh. The long lashes, the slightly superior expression, those incredible dark eyes taking everything in. Funny, beautiful and far more expressive than I ever expected. Some paintings begin with a deeper story. This one began with a really good day, an unforgettable animal, and a memory I wanted to keep. Acrylic on canvas - 20cm x 20cm (8"x8") - Original</image:caption>
