Every Feather & Perch design begins with a brush, gouache and a bird that has caught my imagination.
Inspired by time spent among Australia’s remarkable birdlife, I paint each piece here in Tasmania, celebrating the colour, character and little details that make every bird special.

Meet the Artist
Hi, I’m Sylvia.
Feather & Perch grew from my love of Australia’s native birds, slow creativity and the simple joy of receiving something beautiful in the mail.
I paint each bird in gouache here in Tasmania, turning those small moments of inspiration into artwork for you to hold, collect and enjoy.
