Miniature paintings highlight native Crows Nest birds

The treasured native birds found in forests and bushland around Crows Nest are the subject of Shani White's new exhibition, Flock Together.

Shani's collection of miniature painted artworks of birds that are native to the area will be displayed at the Crows Nest Gallery until June 25, 2023.

Shani's expressive painting style uses brush strokes and colour to bring attention to the birds' feathers and characteristics.

Each painting contains gold leaf embellished in the background or the plumage of the birds to portray a jewel or prize-like finish to the works.

Familiar areas such as Crows Nest National Park, Hampton, Cabarlah, Ravensbourne National Park, and the three surrounding lakes are all home to various species of birds.
