“Here today” Original Painting from the Hidden in Plain Sight Collection

A large original acrylic on canvas from the Hidden in Plain Sight collection.

Soft pastel pinks, warm creams, and grounded browns flow together in gentle, organic movement—each layer revealing traces of earth and sky. The surface hums with quiet energy, inviting the viewer to pause and feel the pulse of nature that lives beyond sight.

Emerging through the abstraction, the endangered WA Black Cockatoo takes form—majestic yet fragile. A fleeting moment of clarity in the swirl of colour, a reminder of what is precious, rare, and in need of care.

“Here Today” speaks to impermanence, connection, and awareness—the way beauty can appear and disappear in a breath. A tribute to the Black Cockatoos, whose presence graces our skies for now, urging us to see, to cherish, and to protect what remains.
