This delightful illustration captures the charm and unique characteristics of Australia's sugar glider with remarkable detail and sensitivity. Robyn Clarke's meticulous attention to fine elements brings to life this small marsupial's most endearing features—from its large eyes and soft grey-purple fur to its distinctive black stripe and the specialised membrane that stretches between its limbs for gliding.
Clinging to a eucalyptus branch with tiny paws, the sugar glider is portrayed in a characteristic pose as it investigates some flowering eucalyptus buds. The subtle lavender tones in the fur and the intricate textures of the bark demonstrate the artist's exceptional skill in rendering these nocturnal creatures, which are rarely seen by most Australians despite being relatively common in the wild.
Native to eastern and northern mainland Australia, sugar gliders are remarkable for their ability to glide up to 50 meters through the forest canopy. These social animals feed primarily on tree sap, nectar, and insects, using their specialised diet and remarkable adaptations to thrive in woodland environments.
The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
