Birds and Animals - FIONA GOULDING Nature & Wildlife Artist For a Kinder World

New Zealand Birds and Animals

There is beauty all around us whether found in the grace of a bird soaring through the sky, the intricacies of bark or the way the light falls on a fence. Fiona's exquisite paintings of New Zealand birds and animals celebrate this beauty. Giclee prints are available in many cases with 20% of the proceeds from their sale donated to SAFE For Animals (Save Animals From Exploitation), New Zealand's leading animal advocacy organisation.
