One-off original fantail artwork by Olivia Bezett - charity fundraiser

Bianka Atlas from BirdCare Aotearoa

The wonderful and talented New Zealand artist, Olivia Bezett, has created a stunning baby pīwakawaka (fantail) artwork especially to raise funds for BirdCare Aotearoa.

100% of the money will go directly to BirdCare Aotearoa.

Artwork details:

-A5 size, one-off mini original (meaning no print will ever be made!)
-Polychromos pencils on Fabriano Academia paper.
-Unframed
-Comes with a certificate of authenticity

Olivia took the reference photo for this piece herself, in the south island on Lake Ohau (fun fact: her now husband proposed to her a few minutes after taking the pic!)
