Koala Framed Poster - Icons Collection - Original Artwork by Bruce Peardon

A beautifully observed koala in a gum tree by celebrated Australian mouth painter Bruce Peardon, part of the MFPA Icons Collection. Printed on semi-gloss FSC-certified paper in a durable pine frame — an iconic piece of Australian wildlife art for any home.

Bruce Peardon discovered mouth painting during rehabilitation following a car accident in 1962 that left him paralysed, guided by fellow artists and close friends Bill Mooney and James K. Meath. He received a scholarship from the MFPA, became a full member in 1972, and served on the Association's Managing Board. Inspired by the Australian landscape, wildlife, mythology and children's stories, his work achieved international recognition — particularly his much-loved children's book illustrations. Bruce passed away in 2001, leaving behind a rich legacy of painting that remains deeply connected to the Australian spirit.
