About The Artwork
A friendly King Parrot has perched on a Tiffany lamp. Behind him is wallpaper based on a design by Lewis Foreman Day (1887). The name of the work comes from a line by Paul Varjak in Breakfast at Tiffany's: You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you're terrified somebody's going to stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself.

Fiona Smith
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Fiona Smith paints birds. She was raised on the fringes of a national park in Sydney, where the wildlife was far more plentiful than willing human playmates.
