This kiwi bird is named Bali who was born in 2025. This painting captures a photo I took of Bali in his first week. Only rangers are allowed to be present when kiwi birds are hatching, so I placed the egg in my painting to honour his birth, and it is a tribute to the incredible work being done to protect our kiwi birds.
Painting narrative: Small Wonder portrays a newborn kiwi chick, its eyes barely open as it adjusts to light. In these first quiet moments of life, the chick is fragile, a tiny but remarkable beginning for one of New Zealand’s most treasured birds.
Resting gently on top of the empty shell is a Southern Blue butterfly. Its delicate presence adds a sense of stillness and wonder, where it pauses to witness this extraordinary arrival.
The print measures 21 cm square (8.26 inches) and is unframed.
