Endangered - Fine Art Prints
The spotted handfish is endemic to Hobart, Tasmania and is found in the murky waters of the Derwent Estuary. The spotted handfish is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List 2020, with an estimated remaining population of 3000 individuals. The spotted handfish is an unusual fish, in that it has highly adapted pectoral fins, which appear like hands (hence the name) and allow it to walk on the sea floor.
The Handfish Conservation Project has been established to provide vital support to the Handfish of Tasmania. They address urgent concerns, and will work tirelessly, through effective collaborations between universities, government, citizen science and the public, to try to halt the decline in these iconic and unique Tasmanian marine species.
This print has been created from an original coloured pencil drawing on black cotton rag (2022). The original image of the handfish was captured by Tasha Waller at Nutgrove Beach in the Derwent Estuary, Tasmania.
Prints are produced locally using the highest quality cotton rag or canvas with archival pigment inks with a fade resistant life of up to and exceeding 100 years.
The surface of the printed cotton rag is very delicate and will scuff easily if not handled carefully. It is recommended the prints are delivered to a professional framer. To avoid reflections from the glass, it is highly recommended a clear non-reflective glass is used.
The canvas is a textured, 380gsm Bright White canvas suitable for all canvas printing applications. The canvas prints are coated with a UV inhibitor for abrasion and fade resistance.
Allow 10-15 days for prints to be delivered and allow up to 4 weeks for stretched canvases.
