Koru

'Koru'
Charcoal on Fabriano 75 x 55cm
A piece I drew for my girlfriends birthday present as she wanted a New Zealand themed artwork so I chose the Koru as it symbolizes new beginnings, strength and growth which has been 3 massive motives in her life recently. I get to see it everyday in our room too which is not common for a piece of mine!

Thank you to Pouroto for allowing me to photograph him and draw him! I got my own page in the Whakatane paper today which is wicked. Awesome write up by Kathy from the Whakatane Beacon.
