Friday Feature 🌿

"The Quiet Unfurling"

This week’s Friday Feature is a painting inspired by the koru.

A symbol of growth, renewal, and quiet emergence.

This piece evolved slowly, with layers added, softened, and sometimes painted away entirely before finding its rhythm. I wanted it to feel organic and contemplative, carrying both a sense of movement and stillness.

For me, the unfurling fern holds something deeply hopeful. Not loud or dramatic, but steady. A reminder that growth often happens quietly, one small unfolding at a time.

I hope this painting invites a moment of pause and reflection for those who see it.

A few glimpses behind the scenes of my newest coastal painting, Reflections: Orewa to Red Beach.

Inspired by the Orewa River mouth at low tide, this piece slowly evolved through layers of reflected sky, shifting water, coastal foliage, and the cliffs beyond at Red Beach.

I always love seeing how a painting changes along the way…from loose beginnings to those final details where everything starts to settle into place.

I am doing a limited run of prints, only 20 will be available.

Each piece is printed to order, so I can make sure it arrives just as it should… carefully made and ready to be gifted.
