Birds, birds, birds – yes, slightly obsessed. They are the inspiration for my linocuts, photography, travel and life in general….not just Aussie birds, although who cannot but love our iconic cockatoos ... it’s the colourful and quirky. I am drawn to birds that feel right for the medium. They’ve taken me to South Georgia, the Antarctic Peninsula, Iceland, Madagascar, Southern Africa and at least one field trip each year to outback Australia. I am also lucky enough to have plenty to choose from on my own 5-acre bush block. Birds – you just have to love them.
