Swallows in the Kōwhai $350 + gst
300mm round on ply
In these 'Taking Sides' works I explore the juxtaposition of Yin and Yang. The loud and the quiet, the native and the introduced, the dark and the light. This pair of swallows take flight among the native New Zealand Kōwhai tree. The work highlights the beauty in differences, and is a symbol of hope in divided times.

Tui Introspection $350 + gst
Acrylic on 300 Round 22mm ply face box boards
In this piece I sought to explore the juxtaposition of the native in nature amongst it's commonly more urbanised environment. Creating contrast between the rough and industrial and the more elegant and softly detained Tui figure in the front. In most of my pieces the main protagonist seeks to look the viewer in the eye and connect on a deeper level - mimicking the experience in nature.

Mohua Yellowhead Window $835.00
Gouache on paper framed
29.7cm x 42cm
The Mohua or Yellowhead are endemic to New Zealand and currently under recovering status. Depicted here nestled amongst its common habitat the silver beech tree, The Mohua is a forest bird that can be found in the South and Stewart island of New Zealand. Once a common native, now endangered due to the introduction of pests such as stoats and rats, the reflection here shows it's skull below as an ominous future.

Miro Miro Tomtit Window $835.00
Gouache on paper framed
29.7cm x 42cm
This stunning wee Tomtit, although not endangered in New Zealand, still requires respect and protection of our forests and habitat to ensure it's not wiped out by predators. In this depiction the live bird on top looks towards a bright future full of ripe berries while it's reflection or potential future warns of a bleak future if biodiversity isn't treasured.

Hihi Stitchbird Window $835.00
Gouache on paper framed
29.7cm x 42cm
Stitchbird/hihi is a medium-sized forest species that is one of New Zealand’s rarest birds. I had the pleasure of spotting one up close on my visit to Zealandia in Wellington which inspired this piece. Shown here with it’s skull in the reflection facing forward this symbolises that this wee creature isn’t extinct but it’s brightly coloured reflection suggests it still needs our help in order not to become extinct.

Kereru Window $835.00
Gouache on paper framed
29.7cm x 42cm
The Kereru or Wood Pigeon as it's commonly known is a sight to behold when balancing its weight precariously on branches. Although not rare in New Zealand native forest their sheer size is a sight to behold when they swoop in loudly or take off with a whooshing of wings. In this bird's reflection the skull is quite faded as these birds have less risk of becoming extinct and have adapted to sharing their environment with humans.

Adzebill Reflection $925.00
Acrylic on canvas
45.5cm x 45.5cm
In this piece I have shown the Adzebill in the reflection of a lesser known extinct bird of New Zealand. I was fascinated to learn about how many species of large bird existed in New Zealand in pre-human times and it was magical to bring them back so that we have a window to the past.

Auckland Island Merganser Mallard Hybrid $1667.00
Acrylic on board (round)
60cm
In the Auckland Island Merganser hybrid with a Mallard duck I look at the exploring the strange sci-fi combinations that could come about from playing with CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and what this could look like. I have always loved surrealist art and how it makes you think differently about what you are looking at.

A Place To Land $2,225.00
Acrylic on canvas framed in pine. 76cm x 76cm
A Place to Land has many interpretations. The inspiration behind it was from watching all the many birds in my garden - only one of which ( the Tui) was native to New Zealand. In the background is the Papamoa Hills where I live, which without forest also contain none of these birds. The picture seeks to remind us how rare these birds are and how important it is we protect them. They face off against the army of invaders, the Sparrow, Mynah and Blackbird. All introduced species to New Zealand.

Stout Legged Moa Reflection (SOLD)
Acrylic on canvas
45.5cm x 45.5cm
In this series of three pieces I bring back the extinct birds of Aotearoa. This piece shows the skull on top facing backwards - as if bringing them back is looking backwards not moving forwards in science. The Moa is found in the reflection and its eyes shine out as if visiting us from the grave with worldly wisdom.

Forest Reign ( Piwakawaka) $1111.00
Acrylic on Pine wood round can be hung and comes with small easel. 36cm
In this piece I chose a pine round to contrast with the dark native Puriri. This piece was inspired by my walks through the Otanewainuku forest where the Piwakawaka dance among the sawn off logs that have been cut to retain the track when a tree has fallen. They demonstrate resilience against the odds of predators and deforestation. They adapt and move forward.
