Taratara sunset
$444 NZD
The sunset is the hour of revelation. The blue sky becomes a forest of trees, still holding Rangi apart from Papatūānuku.
Moa hongi
$444 NZD
This improbable hongi between a giant moa bird and a small Māori girl feels lifted from the pages of a fairytale.

Wairere waterfall
$666 NZD
Wairere Waterfall in Kerikeri is a quiet gem of green shade and cool water, its beauty calling me to paint. I hope I’ve captured enough of its magic for you to enjoy!

Aether Serenity
Inner Rewilding V
$444 NZD
Aether, or Spirit, is often described as the fifth element, the subtle balance that harmonizes all things and brings serenity to the world. Through this painting, I invite you to meditate on this essence and reconnect with the respect we owe to nature, its four elements, and the fragile planet we call home.
Regenerating Fire
Inner Rewilding IV
$555 NZD
Wildfires are sometimes the spark of a new beginning!
Some forests live through long life cycles that naturally include fire, and many plant species actually wait for this moment: their seeds burst open only when touched by flame, ready to repopulate the newborn forest like a miracle delivered by a fiery angel!
Garden Paradise
Inner Rewilding III
$666 NZD
Nurture your inner self through your garden!
There’s nothing more grounding than tending to the present moment, witnessing nature’s quiet alchemy as sunlight and soil become vibrant, nourishing life.
Feline Instinct
Inner Rewilding II
$555 NZD
Trust your instincts! Move like a stealthy feline, treading gently and deliberately upon the earth.
I believe that this first step, rewilding from within, opens the path to a deeper understanding of Nature.
Natural Dive
Inner Rewilding I
$555 NZD
Rewilding isn’t just about planting trees or clearing weeds. It begins much deeper, within ourselves.
It’s time to let go, to strip bare, to dive within, and reconnect with our natural essence.

Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions 19 x 27 inches (50 x 70 cm)
Underground treasures
$444 NZD
Gardeners are finding that the no-dig method is one of the most effective ways to grow beautiful vegetables. The secret lies beneath the soil, where fragile treasures thrive—root systems, worms, and countless tiny insects. This hidden ecology beneath our feet is a world worth recognizing and protecting!
Trees whispering
$444 NZD
Can you hear the trees whispering to one another? No? That’s because most of their conversations happen underground—root to root, in silence.
Tonight, the SA3 possum trap is set... And the tree knows. That’s a story waiting to be told.
Collecting pipies
$444 NZD
Pull on your gumboots, grab a shovel and a bucket—it’s time to hunt for treasure hidden beneath the sand: pipi shells!
But watch out—these shores may be guarded...
According to Māori legend, Hinenui-te-Pō, the goddess of death, unleashed the sandflies—known as Te namu, the mischievous “little devils” of the coast.
Aïkido feather fall
$666 NZD
Aikido master Morihei Ueshiba instructs his apprentice in the backward feather fall.
For an instant, the uke seems to hover—suspended between earth and sky.
That fleeting moment is illuminated by a shaft of light streaming through the wooden-framed windows, the shimmering play of brightness and shadow the Japanese call komorebi.
Pigeon bay finish line
$333 NZD
The boat regatta traced a course from Lyttelton Harbour to Pigeon Bay. With hardly a breath of wind, it felt like an eternity before we finally crossed the finish line. Spinnakers bloomed across the fleet as everyone tried to harness the faintest whisper of breeze. The inland channel stretched endlessly ahead, making the final leg feel even longer.
In this painting, a drone provides a unique aerial perspective—but at times, I find their presence a bit intrusive.
The blues
$444 NZD
Creatures from the deep blue ocean are beautiful: translucent, fluorescent, and... on the lookout for a new see-through friend?
Through the pines
$444 NZD
New Zealand is undergoing significant and relentless deforestation. Expansive commercial pine plantations are further encroaching on the remnants of the ancient native forest. Now, I glimpse at what remains of the original wilderness through prison bars fashioned from rows and rows of pine trees.
If only we could all recognise the treasure this ancient forest truly is, then we could set it free.
First season of 12 paintings
Acrylic paint: Colours and Black & White
Canvas dimensions 19 x 27 inches (50 x 70 cm)
Magical apples
$333 NZD
As I shop for groceries, I find myself longing for a different way to get my fruits and vegetables.
I dream of wandering through a food forest, my heart filled with a child’s joy, simply picking what I need for the day.
Elemental origins
$333 NZD
This painting centers on the four elements—fire, earth, wind, and water—whose combined forces give rise to life: grass, mushrooms, and insects. Despite the encroachment of roads and buildings, life endures and sometimes finds a way to thrive.
Nature of mankind
$333 NZD
Before the demolition and the rebuilding begins, all is still.
Like a sentinel, a thousand-year-old tree watches over the city block, silently bearing witness to the fleeting nature of mankind.
Cultural currents
$333 NZD
This painting symbolizes a connection between New Zealand (Kiwi) and France (Wiwi) through two traditional forms of transportation: the Waka, riding a powerful wave, and the hot air balloon, soaring through an energetic sky. Both are depicted in vibrant colors, full of life and movement.
In contrast, modern modes of transport—commercial cargo ships and airlines—are shown in stark black and white, representing their environmental impact and disconnect from nature.
The artwork invites us to reflect on our consumer-driven world and question how we might reduce pollution and move toward more conscious, sustainable ways of living.
Full moon at Puketi forest
$333 NZD
This painting captures the serene beauty of the Puketi bush bathed in full moonlight, while also delivering a powerful message: we must understand the consequences of introducing non-native species into ecosystems unprepared for them. In this case, the spotlight falls on the overpopulation of possums.
The underbrush glows with vibrant hues, and the ripe fruits of the Karaka trees speak of nature’s abundance.
But beneath the canopy, a different story unfolds. Possums prowl, their black-and-white coats shimmering in the moonlight as they feast ravenously—devouring everything in their path and reproducing unchecked.
Matariki Tamariki
$333 NZD
Matariki is a time for remembrance and whanau.
On the left side, rendered in black and white, a Māori koro is shown gradually losing his identity as his mind ascends toward the Matariki stars. The composition also blends and interchanges the letters of the words Matariki and Tamariki, showing his confusion.
In contrast, the right side of the painting is vibrant with colour, depicting the grandfather as a child — playing joyfully with his whanau in a river, with Mount Taratara rising in the background.
Tauranga beach sand tapestries
$333 NZD
The painting is divided into two contrasting sides. On the left, the color side portrays a sand tapestry created by the retreating waves. Two gannets are seen fishing above Tauranga Bay, adding a sense of natural vitality. In contrast, the right side is rendered in black and white, showing a tractor pulling a boat, leaving behind large tire tracks that form a second, harsher tapestry on the sand. A hill in the background appears opaque, with smoke rising from the tractor.
Together, these opposing sides illustrate the duality between nature’s beauty and human intrusion—marked by pollution and disruption of the landscape.
Whangaroa harbour eclipse
$333 NZD
Below the waterline, two beasts are painted as gods. The Māori proverb "Kaua e mate wheke, mate ururoa" translates to "Don't die like an octopus, die like a shark." It encourages resilience and determination—urging us to fight to the end like a shark, rather than give up passively like an octopus.
This painting, much like the proverb, reminds us to embody the spirit of the shark: to persist, even in the face of adversity. Our greatest challenge as humans is to restore Nature’s right to exist and thrive.
On the right side, rendered in black and white, we see the current human development: the hillsides covered with planted pine trees, meadows and large residential houses, and below them on the water front, a bustling sport fishing harbour filled with charter boats.
In contrast, the left side—painted in vibrant colour—shows the untouched beauty of New Zealand’s primal forest. Towering podocarp trees rise from the dense bush, and below lies a small, traditional Māori fishing village.
This painting offers a reflection: a perspective on human progress set against the richness of what Nature still has to offer.
