Bird Mail 🪶
Each month, I paint an Australian bird in gouache here in Tasmania. My artwork becomes a collectible postcard, sent to letterboxes around Australia and beyond.
From November, Bird Mail will be named for the month it’s posted. September’s postcard was sent in October, and the next release is November Bird Mail. Existing subscribers will continue receiving a postcard each month.
Join by 31 October to receive November Bird Mail, posted in the first week of November

From the Studio
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.

Follow along for new bird paintings, glimpses from my studio and little moments among birds.
