My artwork combines woodcarving, resin pouring and mixed media techniques to depict an Australian native bird. Through woodcarving, I bring intricate details to life, utilising the natural texture and grain of the wood to establish a connection to nature. This work not only celebrates the beauty and resilience of Australian native birds but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve their natural habitats. By showcasing the magnificence of this bird, I aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for our unique wildlife.
