Michaela Laurie | The Collector's Gallery

"This year, I have turned my attention to a collection I am calling 'Loved Objects'.
These works combine several loves of mine.

I have long been attracted to fine antique porelain from Asia and Europe with perfume bottles, clocks and bells. Another love is birds. As I grow older, my love and fascination of birds increases. I am becoming a real twitcher and am amazed at the variety of bird life in our country garden in far South NSW.

In my imagination, the beautiful objects are visited by the many bird species. I create magical still life arrangements by combining the things I love - with the creatures I love. A little whimsy is always thrown in for good measure and fun.

Each piece has a special story attached" - Michaela Laurie
