POHUTUKAWA - Acrylic on canvas. Private Collection.
FLAX / TUI - Acrylic on canvas. Private collection.
I was inspired by a friend who had personalised artworks for each of her children. I wanted to create a gift for each of my girls, that represented their personalities through art, nature, and poetry.
KATE
The Tui rests upon your arms o sing it's chorus,
and you too, sing with uninhibited joy.
You're full of creative promise.
With fiery determination, you reach towards the sky...
making your bright and striking mark upon the landscape.
Resilient and strong
you will weather any storm.

RILEY
Your hair shines in the dappled sunlight
like the golden tips of a pohutukawa.
We know of your treasures.
You hide them away,
sheltering from the weather
until you are ready to shine.
Then, your fiery beauty revealed,
you take centre stage...
filling our world with colour.
