‘Sassy’ the Black Cockatoo Fine Art Print

Some birds politely blend into the background.

Black Cockatoos did not get that memo.

Bold, dramatic and blessed with the kind of effortless confidence most of us can only dream of, the Black Cockatoo is basically the rockstar of Australian birdlife. Slow wing beats, smoky feathers, a call that sounds like ancient Australian magic… and an attitude that says, “Yes, I know I’m fabulous.”

Meet Sassy.

Created using my signature mix of watercolour and ink, this artwork celebrates the breathtaking beauty and larger-than-life personality of one of Australia’s most iconic native birds. Rich textures, layered details and vibrant colour bring this feathered queen (or king — we don’t judge here) to life in all their glorious drama.

Whether you’re a bird nerd, wildlife lover, or simply someone who appreciates a little unapologetic fabulousness on the wall, Sassy brings warmth, personality and a distinctly Australian kind of magic into your home.

Perfect for:
✔ Lovers of Australian bird art
✔ Black cockatoo devotees (excellent taste, by the way)
✔ Australiana-inspired homes
✔ Wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers
✔ Gifts for bird lovers, native wildlife fans and homesick Aussies abroad
