Amanda Hinkelmann - Garru, Wandyu Gilaa63 x 63cm. Acrylic on canvas, framed in oak Artwork Meaning: Birds often come into our day, and often to provide us with direction with a message. They act as a symbol for the future, and what one may come to expect within the weeks to follow. For me, I have a collective of birds that visit and look after me, and my family. The crow a symbol of home, of guidance, of change. The magpie, a faithful friend and a companion not one to worry too much about.
