Niels Meyer-Westfeld moved to New Zealand from Germany where he had a career as a graphic artist and part time landscape artist. But once he met our birds, he couldn't stop drawing them, which led to an exhibition and a related book.
Drawing birds takes patience. To really get a sense of their behaviour, you can't just draw from a photograph, you've got to spend time watching.
"My father is a passionate lepidopterist and growing up in Germany, I was lucky to accompany him on trips around Europe while he pursued his interest." says Niels. "His love of nature inspired me artistically and I've always drawn the fauna and flora that surrounds me."
Niels creative career has been a rich one. Trained in communication design in London, he worked for global brands like The Body Shop, MTV, Hilton Hotels and Dr Martens.
Then he fell in love with kiwi fashion designer, Deborah Sweeny, which brought him to the rich natural environment of New Zealand.
All original artwork by Niels Meyer-Westfeld is available too as a limited edition fine art giclee print.
