Pigment ink print
Limited Edition, framed
A calming composition of lilies, hydrangeas and kowhai leaves assembled within a Crown Lynn vase. Look closely and you might spy the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, as well as a party of praying mantis.
A play with order and chance to create an abstract result.

A retro interior of space and colour including a tree painting of mine over the fireplace.
This is my tribute to Richie McCaw who so often lifted our spirits. His words echo how I feel as an artist. “I do not believe in magic, I believe in hard work.”
Limited edition Fine art print 9/50 in ornate wooden frame with non-reflective glass. Each print comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity
Original artwork was an acrylic painting of a vintage 1930s lead toy by the Segal Factory. I love panting all the lovely patina and wear that was made by children nearly a century ago.
RIFLEMAN
Cast bronze
Ed 6/7
Rifleman is part of a series of works taking a wry look at the nicknames given to New Zealand birds by the early European settlers.
Titipounamu was named the rifleman because its green plumage was the same colour as the uniform of a colonial New Zealand regiment. Here the diminutive bird wears the plumed hat of the Rifleman regiment and sits on the barrel of a Baker rifle.
The timeless tapestry of Waterlilies and Willows.

“Combining her passion for art with a commitment to reducing waste, Frankie creates vibrant, large scale embroidery using recycled rope and street banners. Frankie’s art isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a tool to raise global environmental consciousness and to celebrate the wonder of colour and joy.”
Captured in Judith’s signature muted palette, Same As It Ever Was presents an image of a bygone era: a regional town hall; an old car, aspects of New Zealand’s social landscape we once took for granted and which now evoke feelings of nostalgia.
Oil on canvas, framed in a timber tray frame
Sea-Green Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding, transparencies and densities, the material configuration of the thermoplastic absorbs light creating edges darker than the surface. Resembling colours you might find in the New Zealand landscape, Sea-Green Bloom lends itself to being more spacious and simple ideal for any space in a home.
Sea-Green Mirrored Blaze is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the theme of folding and reflections, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic makes it seem metallic. The eye-catching sculpture is coined as a blaze because it composes an asymmetric form of folds resembling a flame’s upward combustion.
A most unnecessary thing is turned 180 degrees into importance through visualisation as a portrait. A reflection of our way of consumption.
