Crested Pigeon

The crested pigeon is a gentle, everyday visitor in our Australian landscapes, easily recognised by its elegant feathered crest and soft pink-grey tones. I wanted to capture its quiet charm and the way it pauses, alert and curious, as if listening to the world around it. This piece celebrates the understated beauty of a bird we often overlook but always enjoy spotting close to home.

After exhibiting Shared Spaces earlier this year at Rusten House Gallery, a few of my favourite works have returned home to the studio. 

Shared Spaces: The Wildlife Next Door highlights the native birds and animals that quietly visit our gardens, perch on fences, or pass through the bush at the edge of town. These encounters remind us that we are not separate from nature — we share our spaces with it.

Through this series of acrylic paintings on canvas, I hope to spark a sense of wonder and awareness about the wildlife just outside our doors, and encourage a culture of care and curiosity in the next generation.

I’m now offering these select pieces directly from my studio — a rare opportunity for collectors who connected with the exhibition but missed out at the time.
