Forest Penguin on Chalky Island captures a rare and intimate glimpse into Fiordland’s hidden wilderness. This finely detailed black-and-white ink drawing depicts a Tawaki (Fiordland crested penguin) emerging from beneath the roots of an ancient forest - a quiet nod to the way these remarkable birds nest among rocks and roots, far from the sea’s edge.
The interplay of light and shadow evokes the damp hush of the Fiordland bush, where earth, wood, and water meet. Every line in this drawing honours the resilience and mystery of New Zealand’s native wildlife.
Originally exhibited at the Manapouri Art Exhibition 2025, the original piece was awarded Best Overall Artwork and has since sold, now available as a museum-quality giclée print on premium archival paper.
Size: 28cm x 35cm (plus a generous white border for framing flexibility)
Finish: Archival quality giclée print on luxurious, heavyweight fine art paper
Artist’s Touch: Each print is individually hand-signed by the artist
Packaging: Rolled with care and shipped in a sturdy mailing tube for safe arrival
Extras: Includes simple framing guidance to help you present your artwork beautifully
Bring home an award-winning glimpse of Fiordland’s wild heart, a celebration of quiet strength and the beauty that thrives in hidden places.
