Her pieces will be on show at the 2018 Horsham East Rotary Wimmera Art Fair on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“I look into whatever is on the canvas and develop whatever I see,” she said.
Mrs Bird had one specific painting using waratah flowers. She said that made her want to recreate a flowery scene.
Eco-dyeing uses natures flowers, leaves and earth to create an environmental appearance.
This was Mrs Bird’s second time exhibiting at the Wimmera Art Fair and she said she looked forward to seeing all the other Wimmera artists’ work.
An opening gala night will be at the Horsham Town Hall on Friday and costs $30 per person.
Residents can view paintings and purchase them from Friday night until Sunday afternoon.
Money raised from the art fair will go towards an oncology chair for the new Wimmera Cancer Centre.
Entry to the fair, across the weekend, is $5.
