To bring our Beyond Blue Connection Postcards to life, we teamed up with Australian artist Jocelyn Proust, whose design features the beautiful native bird, the Superb Fairy Wren — a bird she often sees on walks around Sydney’s northern beaches.
“I wanted the design to symbolise a feeling of connection... The fairy wren, with its bright blue feathers and friendly nature, felt like the perfect fit.”
A recent Beyond Blue study found that one in three people in Australia have reported feeling lonely. Jocelyn hopes her artwork sparks joy and reminds people they’re not alone.
“It’s so rare to receive a handwritten postcard these days. I hope this one brings a little spark of joy — and shows someone you care.
With Australia Post sending five million postcards to households around Australia, I’m hopeful that my art can play a role in helping people to connect.”
