Echoes of the Interior portrays a pair of Major Mitchell’s Cockatoos rendered with exquisite delicacy and clarity. Against a luminous cerulean backdrop, their softly textured plumage emerges in radiant contrast: pale rose breasts, ivory wings, and resplendent crests ablaze with scarlet and gold. The artist’s meticulous technique layers coloured pencil to achieve both structural precision and a remarkable sense of softness, capturing the birds’ quiet vitality.
Perched upon a dark, weathered remnant of the outback, the cockatoos embody a moment of poised stillness—one bird gazing intently into the distance, the other contemplative. This duality suggests both alertness and serenity, evoking the enduring spirit of Australia’s arid heartlands.
Beyond its arresting visual harmony, Echoes of the Interior invites reflection on the tenuous survival of native species whose habitats face accelerating change. It stands as a testament to resilience, kinship, and the unguarded beauty of life observed in its most luminous form.
