Strawberry State of Mind

A galah, soft yet self-assured, rests beside a strawberry-infused cocktail, her blush feathers echoing the luminous pink tones of the drink below. Native to Australia’s wide open landscapes, galahs are known for their quiet charm and subtle attitude - qualities that inspired this gently playful composition.

Layered with expressive colour and intuitive mark-making, the painting combines softness and strength, allowing the bird’s personality to emerge through abstraction. The cocktail introduces a sense of ease and indulgence, suggesting a moment of stillness within the rhythm of modern life.

Strawberry State of Mind invites warmth, optimism, and colour into a space - a reminder to slow down, savor the sweetness of the present, and embrace joy with confidence. Part of the Cockies & Cocktails series - a collection celebrating Australian and American birdlife, bold colour, and the joy found in life’s lighter moments.
