An Artists story

Welcome to the vibrant world of Tim Niall-Harris, a contemporary bird artist dedicated to celebrating the stunning beauty of avian life.

Tim is an artist who established his reputation in the early -1990s. His passion for art and nature combines in exquisite works that highlight the elegance of Scottish game birds like the majestic grouse, alongside the vivid colours of parrots, the captivating features of hornbills, and a diverse array of exotic bird species that has taken him to every corner of the globe.

The artworks are created in a wide range of mixed medium, incorporating traditional oil paints and acrylic alongside spray paint, inks, graffiti cleaner, and detritus collected from the wild places his subjects inhabit.

At the heart of Tim's artistry is a belief that every bird and their habitat tells a unique story. Each artwork captures not only the striking colours and intricate details of these magnificent creatures but also includes graphic text elements that reflect the landscape, behaviour and character of each species. His mission is clear: to inspire a deep love for wild places and the natural world through art, fostering a meaningful connection between people, the landscape, and the incredible diversity of birdlife.

Whether you are a seasoned bird enthusiast or a casual admirer of nature’s splendour, Tim’s artwork is created to connect with and delight you. Working to commission from his studio on Speyside, Scotland, he now concentrates his practice on the dramatic landscapes and bird life of the Highlands.
