KNYSNA NEWS - An exhibition by artist Mary-Jane Morris hosted by Knysna Fine Art at Thesen House in Long Street, draws the viewer into the artist's sensory and emotional experience of watching and listening to birds on her nature farm outside Sedgefield.

Titled Birdsong, the group of paintings, on show until 14 September, emerged from her ongoing exploration of human-nature connectivity.

In her exhibition statement, Morris says that intuition plays a central role in her creative process, "...the selection of colours, media and mark-making as the painting evolves. Imagery may emerge or the painting will become an expression of feeling, of sensing, of being absorbed in the sights and sounds of nature."

These sights, sounds and feelings are captured in a cascade of colour in her enchanting Birdsong paintings.

Admiring her art, you hear the early birds welcoming the day, the gentle call of the rain bird, as well as the vibrant vocals of the hadedas and drongos.
