Geometrics

Natives all the way down.

Living overseas fueled in me an intense obsession with native birds.

Pairing native New Zealand animals with native New Zealand flowers, Geometrics is one of my many homesickness-inspired illustration series.

A coworker liked the kereru (Dionysus) so much I painted him on a shirt for her when my contract ended.

a takahe sniffing kowhai flowers
a kakapo with a necklace of totara berries
