Wild birds of New Zealand 2022 calendar - kererū print giveaway

Louise from Woburn

Thanks everyone for all your calendar pre-orders. As a way to say thank you, I'll be giving away 10 A3 (print size on A3 sheet is 27X29cm) art prints of this lovely kererū drawing by my daughter Caitlin Thomas-Riley. Winners will be drawn on Tuesday, 5 October from those that have pre-ordered a calendar.

Caitlin is just finishing her third year as a computer science/computer graphics student at Victoria University. She has gained As in illustration and will next year be undertaking her Masters.

If you would like to pre-order a calendar, they are $28 each (for a large A3-size), payable when the calendars are ready to be picked up from Woburn, Lower Hutt (possibly the end of this month/early October, but may be delayed at the printers because of lockdown). They make a great Christmas present for a nature lover. DM me or email louise@louisethomas.co.nz if you would like more details.
