Original acrylic and spray paint on 30 cm diameter wood panel. Painted 2025.

Through the vivid colours of acrylic on wood, I capture the moment Red Tailed Black Cockatoos rise into the first light. These majestic birds, native to Australia, embody strength and grace. This work honours their wisdom, the knowing when it’s time to release the past and fly forward into a new day. The warmth of the sunrise brings renewed energy and endless possibility, an invitation to step forward into freedom.
