NZ Native Bird Art

This collection features NZ native bird art, including detailed New Zealand bird drawings inspired by close observation and a deep appreciation for our native wildlife. Working primarily in coloured pencil, I create realistic bird pencil drawings of species such as fantails, tui, kingfishers, and more, with a strong focus on fine detail, character, and presence.

Each artwork is created through a slow, thoughtful process that allows space to truly observe the subject and bring it to life on paper. This collection includes original NZ bird art as well as fine art prints, all created in New Zealand and shared directly with collectors and nature lovers.

About the NZ Bird Art

What inspires your bird artworks?

My bird artworks are inspired by close observation and a deep appreciation for New Zealand’s native birds. I’m drawn to small moments, subtle details, and the individual character of each bird, which I explore through careful, realistic drawing.

Are these artworks originals or prints?

This collection includes both original NZ native bird artworks and fine art prints. Each product listing clearly states whether the artwork is an original or a print, along with size, edition, and pricing details. You can explore my entire range of art prints here or all original artworks here.

What medium are the artworks created in?

All original artworks are created primarily using coloured pencil. This medium allows for layered colour, subtle texture, and the level of fine detail needed to create realistic, true-to-life drawings of New Zealand birds.
