Acrylic on reclaimed maire | Copper wire hangers | Resin finish

This enchanting series of hand-painted miniatures captures the quiet beauty of NZ’s pollinators and fluttering visitors. Each piece features a delicately rendered bee, monarch butterfly, or moth framed with blooming manuka flowers—painted on native maire wood and finished with a glassy resin coat that enhances the richness of the grain and colour.

Hung with hand-twisted copper wire, these miniature icons celebrate nature’s small messengers—symbols of renewal, transformation, and balance. Their intimate scale invites close attention, offering a quiet moment of connection and wonder for your wall or altar.

Each work is one-of-a-kind, hand painted and part of my exploration into storytelling through native flora, fauna, and reclaimed materials.
