Original artwork description:

Birds, bees and butterflies seem to fly (and occasionally swim) into my paintings completely naturally. Sometimes they just appear to me from the paint splashes and I feel they were always meant to live there.

When I was young I would talk to the macaws in the zoo. They would squawk and caw back, and always held such intrigue to me. This is one I have captured from my childhood memories.

The reason I now chose to focus on this animal is because their numbers are decreasing in the wild and their habitat needs protection. I originally painted this piece for a fundraising and awareness-raising exhibition hoping to protect rainforests.
