Urban Birds – Flight Path 2
You hear them, before you see them. Parrots and magpies are everywhere in our urban environments. Craigieburn was once full of river red gums and local corellas are so loud when the flock takes off. Galahs are quiet with a soft call. Unobtrusive and sweet. The call of a magpie makes you smile. We live with these sounds every day as we go about our busy lives. Just listen.
Wetland Birds – Flight Path 3
Birdlife revolves around resources and water. Wetlands are habitat for many different species, only observed near the water. White faced heron, australian ibis, pacific black duck and australasian swamphen. These flowers of Craigieburn are grey parrot peas and lemon beauty-heads. I try to create movement and a feeling of whimsy in my work, which suits the birds, always in motion.
About the artist
Lisa Buckland’s artistic practice revolves around nature and the connections within it. Over the past five years, she has primarily worked with acrylics, watercolours, and ink, and has moved into using digital mediums, such as Procreate on her iPad, to create vibrant pieces that explore these themes.
Drawing on her background as a graphic designer, Lisa’s understanding of colour and composition informs her work, while her painting and mark-making techniques are influenced by her study of Japanese calligraphy and the use of Asian brushes.
Deeply connected to the Craigieburn community, Lisa has showcased her artwork in several exhibitions over the last four years, including the Town Hall Broadmeadows Gallery, Crown Street Stables in Flemington, and the Hume Global Learning Centre in Sunbury.
Her recent achievements include being invited to exhibit at the Hume Winter Lights Festival 2023, being selected as an artist for the Exeloo Public Art Project in Hume and creating artwork for the Hume City Council Christmas Decal. In 2024, she was featured on the Projection Wall of Brimbank City Council.
