The Eastern Stone Curlew, or thick-knee, often gets a hard time in urban areas because of its highly defensive tactics and loud nocturnal communications. Here the curlew is portrayed as a proud Australian bird, one who will fiercely defend its family, complete with a cowboy hat that suits the curlew's general behaviour and attitude. Rich earthy hues with hints of ochre and blush make up this one off statement piece. Area of textured paint invite the viewer to lean in close.
This is a one of a kind artwork, there are no duplicates, though there are others in this series, but they are all different from one another because of the hand painting. It was created with acrylic paint, over a matte photographic print on canvas. It's a true statement piece sure to spark conversation.
Signed on the lower right profile edge as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by myself.
Note: This is a one off hand painted work incorporating a fine art canvas print and thick acrylic paint. To order the print only it is around $500 less for this size. Visit this work as a fine art print without the hand painting HERE.

'It’s a uniquely Australian sound, the screech of the black cockatoo. They’ve been calling out from the towering gums behind the creek, near my house, heralding rain, and hopefully there’s more on the way.'
'Black Cockatoos Homeward Bound' is inspired by the afterglow on the inlet not far from Naomi's home and studio on the Far Sth Coast of NSW. The abstract white flannel flowers are quite textured, and contract against ochre coloured Australian gum trees. Three yellow tailed black cockatoos swoop down low on their way home to roost in the hollows of spotted gums. This bold and intrinsically Australian painting is a one-off fine art abstract, and blends Naomi's bushland and botanicals series.

In the 1980 and 1990s we lost our seaweed. Around 70km of the Sydney coastline was denuded of Crayweed, where crayfish and abalone hide. Slowly but surely with a lot of hard work, it is being replanted. We no longer pump raw sewage into our ocean outfalls, and the seaweed is growing. Are we learning from our mistakes?
‘What’s Past is Prologue’ was the brief given to me as one of 10 artists selected for a group show at the Basil Sellers Exhibition Centre, opening May 17th 2025 in Moruya, NSW, Australia.
The beach where I swim and collect my seaweed is only 500m from a treated ocean outfalls. It is abundant with life, and seeps into my arts practice on a deep level. I made a monotype of the seaweed, then made it all but disappear with overpainting, then brought it back to life layer upon layer. Then the marine life came along in the final layer of silver leaf.

‘What’s Past is Prologue’ was the brief given to me as one of 10 artists selected for a group show at the Basil Sellers Exhibition Centre, opening May 17th 2025 in Moruya, NSW, Australia.
I made a monotype of the seaweed in the bottom section, then added abstract bushland and cliffs in acrylic paint. The strip of copper leaf signifies the different realms, above and below the surface. There is so much going on underneath which you’re acutely aware of when you dive under and start exploring. It seems to just bring everything into perspective.

‘Beyond Honeymoon Bay’ is a contemporary, semi abstract coastal painting on pure linen, and forms part of Naomi's 'Oceanic Enchantment' collection. Rich toffee and mocha hues rub up against the soft yet striking phthalo blues with a hint of turquoise to describe the cooling shallows of Honeymoon Bay, looking out across the deeper expanse of water to the distant ranges . Naomi's sweeping brushstrokes and calligraphic freehand marks urge the viewer to lean in close. Step back to take in the scene of one of Tasmania's most beautiful hidden bays.

'The sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever.'
~ JACQUES COUSTEAU
'Spell of the Sea' is all about the pull, the call, the magic that lures us closer and closer to the sea.
Naomi Crowther's studio is based on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, and she takes cues from this raw, natural environment as a major inspiration for her artwork. 'Spell of the Sea' is about immersing yourself in the wonders of the ocean after it calls to you. Swathes of deep teals and pthalo blue contrast against the shimmering gold leaf, which seems to glow at night.
The edges are 3.8cm thick and the background colours continue around the sides, creating that crisp, gallery look. The detail of this work is mesmerising, your guests will want to lean in to see the details up close.
