Lots 1 - 13 lots are being offered by auction to assist funding for an upcoming film project by Morag Brownlie - working title Paradise. Morag's artist friends have kindly contributed artworks to be offered in this auction. The proceeds will assist Paradise to get to the next stages of scripting and promotion, for pitching it here and abroad. Sir David Attenborough is one of the inspirations of the film. He is aware of the project and has given his approval. Artist Fatu Feu'u has signed Morag and David Fundraising on the back of his work Palauli, Samoa Rainforest Series.

Unique, romantic, humorous, visual and very moving… Paradise will certainly be one to watch out for in the future.

Thank you to all the artists and collectors for supporting this fundraising effort.

Brownlie has a unique vision both celebratory and profound. NZ HERALD
