This painting captures a moment of change: the sun sets over the horizon, bringing the day to a close, while cockatoos take flight into the arriving night. I aim to share the excitement and joy of these fleeting transitions, where swirling movement and bright colours illuminate the glowing landscape.
Growing up in Sydney, I have been inspired by the diversity of nature surrounding us. This particular work is set in Bundeena, NSW and features the yellow-crested cockatoo. My practice focuses on high‑contrast landscapes, using dynamic lines, strong highlights, and deep shadows to create movement and a glowing quality that complements the drama of the sunset.
