Painted by hand in Waitākere

I'm Amanda. I paint kiwiana pop art and sell it straight to the people who want to hang it.

Every canvas starts with the same idea: New Zealand, cut into flat shards of colour and outlined in thick black marker. The two islands, koru spirals, tūī and fantails. The colours come straight out of the tube.

I work from a home studio in Waitākere, Auckland. Originals are one-offs and are never reprinted. When one sells it is gone. Alongside the regular work I take four commissions a month.

Everything ships flat and boxed anywhere in New Zealand. If you would like to see the work in person, market dates go up on Instagram first.

A fantail with its tail fanned wide in grey and white patterned feathers, its body in blue, orange and brown spirals, set against shards of orange, blue, pink and purple, every shape outlined in black.

Acrylic and pen on canvas

Flat, saturated colour shards, every one outlined in black marker. Hand-drawn fill patterns throughout.

The motifs

The two islands, koru spirals and native birds: tūī, kiwi, fantail. Named, never hinted at.

Painted front and edges

Every canvas hangs unframed and is signed on the reverse.
