Acrylic on Canvas 560mm x 840mm

painted in delicate shades of whites

that we see all over New Zealand

210 gsm smooth matte paper

I discovered I loved sculpting with clay

The feeling of this enchanted world had been emphasised by using a colour palate restricted to slightly surreal combinations of black

Intricate detail and perfection of colour and light are what first draw you in

The animals peer out with a dignified anamorphic gaze

New Zealanders love Tuis

giving them a character of their own
