The Story Behind the Painting
.This painting draws inspiration from the kōtuku, a rare and graceful white heron. After breeding on the West Coast each spring, it disperses throughout New Zealand, occasionally appearing in remote places like Fiordland. Long regarded as a symbol of beauty and rarity, its presence echoes the quiet, fleeting moments captured in this work.
About the Painting
This piece was inspired by time spent exploring this part of New Zealand, where I was immediately drawn to the colours and reflections across the water. The subtle shifts in light and tone created a sense of depth and stillness that left a lasting impression, and this painting aims to capture that atmosphere.
