Night Bird

Black ink on paper — this intricate piece draws inspiration from elegant Art Deco borders and the beauty of New Zealand’s native wildlife. At its centre, a little kiwi gazes skyward beneath a starry night, framed by flourishing botanical motifs and a cicada in flight. Both nostalgic and refined, it’s a celebration of Aotearoa with a vintage twist.
