This graphite portrait celebrates one of New Zealand’s most intelligent and charismatic native birds, the kēa.
Inspired by my encounters with these curious alpine parrots in Fiordland, this imagined portrait captures the alert expression, intelligence, and personality that make kēa so unforgettable. Their playful curiosity and clever nature are what make every encounter special.
Part of a series of native parrot portraits, this artwork focuses on the character of the species through detailed graphite work and careful observation.

Printed on quality 300gsm satin paper.
Each print is individually signed and carefully packaged with backing board for protection.
