Michaela Laurie - Princess Perch Card

Description

Princess Perch

• Card featuring a Coloured Pencil artwork by By Michaela Laurie

"These gentle birds are one of the stars in our garden.

Last week we had 3 pairs of King Parrots in the pistachio tree calling me to bring their breakfast.

They looked like exotic Christmas decorations. 

The one adorning this rare and unusual Chinese porcelain jar is a female.

If you are very quiet and approach slowly she may decide to climb onto your hand.

It is one of life’s true joys.

For a wild bird to show such trust."

• Printed on 300g high quality archival Italian paper with a white envelope.
• Blank inside for your message
• Size: 135 x 135mm

Michaela lives and works in country NSW just south of Canberra, Australia’s National capital city.

She has lived at ‘Wrens Nest’ since 2002, moving there from Sydney.

The landscape of this unique place has become part of her soul.

It is a land of expansive skies and rugged mountains formed by a harsh climate.

She has become acutely aware of the comings and goings of animals and birds, the change of seasons and the beauty of changing light each day.

In her latest work, she has turned her attention to combining beautiful antique objects with the enchanting birds who visit her garden and surrounding land.

These works are called ‘The Loved Objects’ Collection.

She continues to be inspired and delighted by objects in her home, objects she sees in her travels and those she sees at auction houses.

In her imagination, the beautiful objects are visited throughout the year by many and varied bird species.

She creates magical still life arrangements by combining the things she loves – with the creatures she loves.

A little whimsy is always thrown in just for fun.
