I love painting birds, being playful, and having a little fun with my narratives. This artwork brings colour and joy into any room and is painted with premium artist quality oil paints that last the test of time. The artwork was painted with permission from Andrea Lightfoot, a photographer in Southland who took the original photo, which I have interpreted. She runs a bird rescue center called "Tranquility" located in Southland, New Zealand, and half of the profits from the sale of this painting will be donated to this charity.

My name is Andrea and I am an artist living in New Zealand. Creating artwork is as important to me as the air that I breathe. It is the language I use to tell my story, to celebrate nature, and to raise awareness of environmental issues. I have a varied approach to my work. I love many styles and mediums and my messages are more important than using the same approach to my work. From stylised realism to illustration, I love it all! Some of my artworks are based on what I see in the natural environment, and some are from my imagination – this way I can create worlds of beauty and activism, which I hope will create cultural conversations around our environment. I love celebrating nature, so I also paint our natural environment to inspire and uplift viewers which I hope will give a feeling of hope and joy. I am proudly a member of several organisations, I have had a number of articles published, and I am humbled to have won several awards. I support a number of causes, donating money from the sale of my paintings to eco-sanctuaries and schools. As an environmental artist my aim is to work in harmony with the natural environment as much as I can. I only use good quality materials, as good brushes can be used repetitively whereas cheap brushes are generally thrown out after a few uses. I use thick canvases and papers, and museum grade paints - as these last anywhere from 75 – 200 years which is more sustainable than using thin canvases and prints that disintegrate or fade after a short time, and are designed to be thrown out. I also use Schmincke medium gel with my oil paints as it allows me to wash out my brushes in water. In this throw-away society I think it is important that our choices are sustainable both in how we work and what we purchase. Thank you for supporting me!
