Eligible Bachelor – Satin Bowerbird

Eligible bachelor – Satin bowerbird is an original artwork.

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK
The male Satin Bowerbird is a perennial eligible bachelor, with his bower decorated all in blue and his very smart midnight blue jacket. Not for him the grind of chick-rearing. Birds have been a source of fascination for me for many years, and I am very lucky to have over sixty species visiting me at my home in the Gold Coast hinterland. As an artist, birds are a never-ending source of inspiration, with their vast range of forms and colours, and of course their individual personalities and unique behaviours. I am happiest with my work when my paintings bring together many things that I love. These include, firstly, a delight in the natural world surrounding me. The Gold Coast hinterland is an area rich in sub-tropical forests and streams, full of life, colour and pattern. Layers of colour and pattern underlie my paintings, often combining natural plant forms with other elements from different times and cultures. My current work brings together a diverse range of influences including Asian philosophy and traditional art, textile pattern, bird-watching and the phenomenology of perception.
