Poised and Proud


The Idea

"Poised and Proud" honours the power of introspection and the internal change that happens in quiet moments. For the high-achiever, life is a constant conversation and a relentless performance. This piece captures the profound relief of stepping away from the noise to find solitude. It visualises that necessary mental deep-breath, reminding you that great shifts occur when you finally silence the external expectations, stand proud in your quietness, and trust the wisdom found in your own inner sanctuary.

The Work

A striking fusion of vibrant wildlife and abstract nature. A vividly painted parrot rests with a pensive, closed-eye expression, anchored amidst an intuitive, layered background of sweeping teal and deep purple brushwork. The rich, feathery textures and delicate, sweeping leaves emerge from atmospheric shadows, capturing a quiet moment of retreat.

The Point

A visual sanctuary that gives you permission to be quiet. This piece serves as a daily anchor in your space, reminding you that your inner voice is worth protecting. It offers a powerful moment of visual relief, validating the necessity of retreat and the strength found in standing poised and proud in your solitude.

It has this layered beauty to it that I find incredibly calming and majestic. You can see and feel the heart, soul and passion you pour into every detail of your creations. Your art style is a stunning form of self-expression and story telling, and it's also such a wonderful reflection of the thoughtful, beautiful and inspiring person that you are.

Absolutely in love with our new artwork! This piece of art is beautiful and as soon as I saw it, I just knew I had to have it in our house. It is the second painting we have in our house by Tash and I am sure it will not be the last.
