I love painting nature. It fills me with joy and enables me to be playful with my subjects. One of the most enduring qualities of art is its power to transport viewers to another place. I invite viewers to my imagined world, where my subjects have personalities and a voice that people can connect with on an emotional level. Whilst not attempting to tell a story as per se, my painting amuses, and dwells in a space of happiness and contentment.

The artwork was painted with permission from Andrea Lightfoot, a photographer in Southland who took the original photo, which I have interpreted. She runs a bird rescue center called "Tranquility" located in Southland, New Zealand, and half of the profits from the sale of this painting will be donated to this charity.
