This original stencil artwork by Melbourne artist Geoff Cunningham celebrates the bold colour, personality and beauty of Australian native birds. Each piece is created using hand-cut stencils and layered spray techniques, highlighting the strong shapes and natural character of Australia’s birdlife. Inspired by everyday backyard and bushland sightings, these artworks blend contemporary stencil design with a warm sense of Australian nostalgia.
"The laughing Kookaburra is part of the Kingfisher family and has one of the most recognisable and famous bird calls in the world. Whilst visiting Wilsons Prom (Victoria) I was treated to morning and evening choruses of their distinctive laugh. I always imagine that the early settlers and explorers would have been completely freaked out by this laugh erupting from the bush like some madman was out to get them!"
