Series : Wander Out Yonder

Pied Oystercatchers, Shoreline Explorers, WA.

"It was a chance plein air painting session at the beach at Flinders Bay, Augusta where I met the three Pied Oystercatchers that inspired this image. We spent a long time together in the wind and the rain tucked into the nook where the creek comes out on the beach. They are one of my favourite shore birds and always signify good luck for me. They lay their eggs between rocks and have hilariously unattractive babies with giant knobbly knees. You can always see them at Pinkies Beach at Rottnest or on the beach at North Thompson Bay, likewise they often frequent Redgate Beach where it is usual to see a group of Pied Oystercatchers with one Sooty Oyster Catcher ( all black) hanging out with them. They 'pip peep' as they fly, and are quite unafraid of people".

Wander Out Yonder Series: This series depicts a range of iconic West Australian landscapes and the bird, flora and fauna species typically found there.
The series has been created using painted paper collage. Fi first creates a mixture of colours and textured papers and then hand cuts the shapes, constructing the subjects for memory of her sketchbook observations and the use of reference book photographs to correctly observe the birds she is studying.  The original images are photographed and then reproduced.

Unique Limited Editions*
A limited run of 20 Unique, Limited Edition, Giclee Fine Art Archival quality prints have been produced. Each one is individualised with the addition of painted paper collage elements, added at the discretion of the artist. Each is numbered and signed by the artist.

Our print and photographic partners  are locally owned and operated and support the highest quality product philosophy.

We use only high quality archival inks, some times known as Giclee prints and Canson fine art papers and canvas.

Custom sizes may be available in addition to sizes listed but it depends on the size of the original art work and the size of the digital file. Please enquire.

If you order your print on canvas, you will need to have it stretched and framed at your local picture framers. The surface has already been treated with a UV coating for extra protection. Your canvas will be rolled and posted to you.

A limited number are produced of between 20 and 200. These are produced on request. Each one is signed and numbered by hand. This is visible on the lower edge on the paper print, but is on the edge of the canvas and will not be visible when stretched.

Reproductions are NOT created in canvas at the same size as the original painting.

Each print is supplied with its own matching print certificate.

Prints over 50 cm in measurement are large format prints and are signed and come with a print certificate. Canvas prints are signed on the back .Smaller prints are not signed.

To facilitate stretching a boarder of plain canvas, or black canvas (on the Still @ Home series) is added to the image edge. 

The paper prints measurements are given as image size and paper size in case you wish to have a larger space around your image before a mount window is laid on top.
