Sweet Rain (Blue-faced Honeyeaters)

Sweet Rain (Blue-faced Honeyeaters)Kristy Ann is an Australian artist with a passion for birds. More than just capturing a visual likeness, Kristy Ann creates art that shares special moments she has spent watching birds. She portrays the beautiful places they live and their fascinating behaviours; black swans ripping green weed from the bottom of a river, pelicans preening and leaving a trail of soft feathers in the water, grey fantails dancing amongst the trees. Kristy Ann creates art

finding both fascination and amusement in discomfort

with feeling guiding how an artwork comes together

The Australian bush - with its quiet resilience and gentle beauty - reminds me of the human spirit

to what you see today

It's an important time to reset my nervous system and take care of myself

creating offers her space

the focus shifts from realism to feeling

I created this piece during a time I felt erased—by the world

Her paintings are exhibited online through Bluethumb and at Artwest Community Gallery

Through my painting practice I explore how the mind shapes reality

more delicate feel compared to my oil paintings

It speaks to the subtle intensity of the first trace of light after a long stretch of dark
