Budgie Art and Parrot Paintings

Latest News

Quick health update: You may know, if you follow me on social media, that I underwent emergency eye surgery for retinal detachment in June. Recovery has been slow and really hampered my efforts to paint this Summer. I have a further procedure this week ( 15th September) but hope I will be fully recovered (and with some glasses I can actually see through!) by the end of October, if not sooner.

I'll then be painting like crazy to try and bring you more budgie and parrot art before Christmas!

NEW ROYAL MAIL BUDGIE STAMPS

a set of ten Royal Mail stamps featuring pets including cat, dog, budgie, cockatiel, guinea pig, rat, rabbit, goldfish, tortoise, cat, dog and hamster.

Royal Mail recently released a new set of stamps featuring the UK's favourite pets, including my favourite budgies plus cockatiels and guinea pigs, all favourite subjects of mine.

They are proving hard to come by individually so if you like them I suggest you shop around quickly to see if any of your local post offices have some left.

You can buy the set of ten designs via Royal Mail shop  Pets Stamp Set | Royal Mail but they are not available individually. Do keep an eye out for them!

I do think budgies are more first class than second though..

UK Parrot Events

I have no more parrot events in the calendar for the rest of 2026 but here are some photos of August's event  The Tropical Bird Show.

I had a fabulous time and the range of birds on display and interacting with visitors was tremendous!

Bird Art by Mandy Renton.

Paintings of budgies, parrots and pet birds. Bird and animal art.

I create budgie paintings and parrot art for people who love and understand birds,  and especially for anyone for whom birds are a member of the family.  I hope to provide something special to budgie owners and parrot parents who cannot always find their pet birds portrayed in art as they see them. Capturing character and essence is fundamental to my work.

Budgies are the world's most popular pet birds - and mine too! I am passionate about promoting an admiration for their charm and intelligence. My art is inspired by a love for all pet birds and parrots, and a care and concern for the challenges facing wild birds and birds in captivity.

I am on a mission to paint as many different popular parrots and pet birds as I possibly can, from the most popular companion birds to the more exotic, including some endangered species. UK birds and wildlife also emerge from my Suffolk studio. Guinea pigs are a new favourite subject and I have no shortage of models as my mum has a passion for piggies.

Perch a while and get to know my flock!
