This graphite portrait celebrates the gentle and wonderfully awkward character of New Zealand’s native kererū.
I often encounter kererū while exploring native forests, and they never fail to make an impression. Their surprisingly clumsy nature, from choosing branches that barely hold their weight to their determined-looking flight, makes them one of New Zealand’s most endearing birds.
This portrait was created from reference photographs taken in my own garden, capturing the quiet charm of a familiar visitor and one of my favourite native species.
Originally drawn in graphite, this artwork focuses on the detail, texture, and personality that make kererū so special.
Limited edition of 20 hand-signed and numbered prints.
Size: A4 (210 × 297 mm / 8.3 × 11.7 in)
Printed on quality 300gsm satin paper.
Each print is individually signed and carefully packaged with backing board for protection.
