You often see Sparrows hopping around supermarket parking areas and in the gutters of housing so this family of Mom, Dad and baby were very special. We had gone to photograph birds at a local Lake which is normally bone dry most years and devoid of bird life but when the rain arrives it fills and like Lake Eyre that is when the bird life arrives too[...]
You often see Sparrows hopping around supermarket parking areas and in the gutters of housing so this family of Mom, Dad and baby were very special. We had gone to photograph birds at a local Lake which is normally bone dry most years and devoid of bird life but when the rain arrives it fills and like Lake Eyre that is when the bird life arrives too although on a much smaller scale. This was a branch on the side of the road and I had been focusing on a pair of nesting Galahs in the distance when they arrived. Such delightful birds were instantly captured on camera and as there was plenty of food with the recent water they stayed awhile and studied us too. I tried to capture the light and contentment in this little group of sparrows even though they were slightly thinner than those that eat takeaway scraps in their urban environment. You can take a mindful break and see this art work in more detail later today on my social media as I have discovered a video in the archives while publishing this artwork here on Artmajeur that I have not released yet to share with you all.

Susan was born in Rhodesia, educated in South Africa at Groote Schuur Hospital where she worked for 20 years and now lives in Australia. Having rewritten her medical exams with Distinction in 2011 in Australia she was saddened when the cervical cancer Pap screening was deemed not cost effective in 2017 in Australia and palliative hospitals were built instead. It was then that she followed her second dream which had started in High School with the final art prize in 1985 and started her own art practice in Canberra. Susan is absolutely loving the art world now for she has discovered Art is the universal language that heals and connects people in this world. Susan still believes that prevention of cancer and early diagnosis is a worthwhile cause and is glad she was able to help others and glad that the Australian radiologists were spared the cost cuts of 2017 so they were able to help her live as well but she now welcomes you to share her journey forward in the Arts.
