"Singing Spring Tūī"

$600 NZD

Every day, I’m visited by tūī birds. They’re drawn to the bush trees surrounding the house and the nearby pond. I’m also growing a small kōwhai tree, something tūī absolutely love… and so do I! I can’t wait to see its first flowers bloom.

"Taratara sunset"

Whangaroa inlet, looking out from my deck

Inner Rewilding series of 5 paintings

Acrylic on canvas

Dimensions 19 x 27 inches (50 x 70 cm)

Aether Serenity 

Inner Rewilding V

$300 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

$450 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

$600 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

$450 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

$450 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. 

2nd Season of 12 paintings

Acrylic on canvas

Dimensions 19 x 27 inches (50 x 70 cm)

"Underground treasures"

Just below our feet, a fertile soil teaming with life

$300 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"

A silent unnoticed communication

$300 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"

Taipa estuary, just feel them under your feet

$300 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"

Just that one second which lasts an eternity 

$450 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"

Banks peninsula, a never ending story 

$300 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.

"Through the pines"

North land region, the bush is struggling to escape

$450 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"

At the supermarket, a little girl is dreaming 

$300 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"

Everywhere nature is oppressed she still finds a way to persist 

$300 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"

Silently bearing witness

$300 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"

Across the seas and the air, we set our commercial routes throughout time and space

$300 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"

Puketi forest, possums we hate them or love them, but they are everywhere in New Zealand

$300 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"

Taratata mount, slowly forgetting our past

$300 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.

"Whangaroa harbour eclipse"

Past and present reunited 

$300 NZD
