Art Print (NZ Artist)

Image size in millimetres: 500 x 700

Orcinus orca or the “killer whale” is a frequent visitor to the shores around New Zealand and increasingly small pods are seen visiting inner harbours (such as Wellington’s) as their population numbers recover. They are a highly social ocean creature and a member of the oceanic dolphin family. For the first time an art print depicting one of New Zealand’s orca has been created, by Wellington artist Ellen Giggenbach.
