"The name "Fantailed Illustrations" comes from my adoration and love for the namesake bird - Fantails (Pīwakawaka). I admire their cheekiness and their ability to flit around free of care and restraint."

- Leah Ingram (the artist).

Meet the Artist

Hi, I'm Leah — a New Zealand artist who found healing through watercolour. Managing CPTSD led me to the quiet world of NZ native birds and botanicals, where each brushstroke became part of my recovery. My illustrations carry that journey, and I hope they bring the same sense of peace to your home.
