Crimson Creed - signed edition print Ed. 3 of 250

Beijing clients wanted a beautiful Australian Bird to remember their visit to Currumbin Bird Sanctuary. I thought of doing the Rainbow Lorikeet but they are quite common. I remember seeing on a couple of Crimson Rosella's in a cage at Currumbin and since they are becoming quite rare in our gardens and environment, I wanted to promote this bird as a portrait to honour their unique colours and beauty in the hope of conserving and protecting them and their habitat.

Ngaire has been in awe of nature her whole life. Her signature style is capturing ‘the essence’ of her subject, the dance her colours create, how they meld into a symphonic and technical playfulness and the poses chosen to emphasize the subjects unique beauty.
