Joyous birds

Inspired by lots of walks close to home during the pandemic Cate Rose has been working on a new series celebrating the wonderful colours and joyous activities of Australian birds.

Glorious Pelicans!

Feathered Rainbows

Vibrant original artwork of Rainbow Lorikeets hanging out amongst beautiful orange coral tree flowers

Rainbow Lorikeets

Flocks of these glorious lorikeets make their own rainbows in the local coral trees.

“This piece comprises of many individual paintings each individually painted, coloured and carefully cut out using knife and scissors. The coloured background is painted and gradually the artwork emerges, bird by bird, flower by flower, layer after layer, taking weeks of work”. Follow @cateroseart to see how she creates these beautiful pieces.

Original artworks for sale and available as fine art prints.

Love is in the Air

close up of original artwork, birds in hollow nesting being tended by mother

Detail of the baby birds in the nest. Unfortunately due to land clearing there are less and less hollows for birds to make their nests. This is the first in Cate Rose’s Birds series. It is inspired by the local bird boxes erected by people to provide birds a safe alternative place to lay their eggs and raise their young.
