One-of-a-kind original painting created for the ‘In Full Bloom’ Exhibition, celebrating queer identities, self-discovery, and the joy of living authentically.

‘Taking Flight’ features three Galahs against a semi-psychedelic backdrop… I’ve been queer my whole life and now out longer than I was “in” but I will never forget how it felt to fully come alive just by being yourself, as if the world went from black and white to colour — There is so much joy in our community! There is much pain and sorrow too, but so, so much beautiful joy and I hoped to show a bit of what the world looks like when you do ‘take flight’.

Original painting on deep etched canvas framed in a floating Tasmanian oak, painted in acrylic.

23cm x 23cm, 9mm deep with cord on the back to hang.
