This artwork created with a combination of watercolour and ink depicts a playful Kea, New Zealand's alpine parrot, against a stylized backdrop of Mt Cook. This is a unique and vibrant piece of art that would be the perfect addition to any nature lover's home, and will bring a touch of joy and whimsy to any room.

The Kea is known for it's cheeky antics and destruction of windshield wipers when visiting the ski slopes. Kea are exceedingly intelligent, more so than most parrots, other birds and even mammals. They are incredibly curious, especially when it comes to humans - which can get them into a lot of mischief. I’ve always liked their curiosity, and resourcefulness and more recently, I’ve fallen in love with their hidden rainbow of colours.
