Meet Rio, the little Rufous Fantail who never seems to sit still long enough for introductions.
If you've ever been lucky enough to spot one darting through the Australian bush, you'll know exactly what I mean. Constantly flitting from branch to branch, wagging that magnificent fan-shaped tail and flashing those warm rufous colours, they're one of Australia's busiest little birds. And then there are those eyebrows... or should I say, that glorious monobrow.
Featuring my original watercolour and ink artwork, 'Rio' celebrates everything that makes the Rufous Fantail so unforgettable — expressive eyes, beautifully layered feathers, endless energy and a personality far bigger than its tiny size.
Printed on beautifully textured cold-pressed watercolour paper, this Rufous Fantail fine art print captures every intricate ink detail and rich watercolour wash from the original artwork. Each print is hand signed in pencil by Australian artist Shannon Dwyer, making every piece feel just that little bit more personal.
Whether you're creating a gallery wall, adding Australian wildlife to your home, or searching for the perfect gift for a bird lover, Rio is guaranteed to bring movement, warmth and a little cheeky charm to your walls.

What is a Giclée?
Giclée is a printing process using high-quality digital files, archival-grade pigments and acid free media resulting in a fade-free image which achieves a seemingly “dot-less” imaging technology (which varies from traditional fine art printing which typically relies on screen pattern dots to reproduce full-range colour halftones). The Giclée process enables reproduction on virtually the same media as the original artwork.
