Step into a world alive with movement, melody, and light in Kirsty Nixon’s Chorus of Colour—a vibrant celebration of New Zealand’s native birdlife, brought to life through bold hues and fluid, painterly textures. In this whimsical and expressive series, Kirsty adopts a looser, more abstract approach, blending spontaneity with the control and depth of acrylics.

Each piece features beloved native birds—mid-song or mid-flight—set against vivid, layered backdrops that shimmer with energy and warmth. The softened textures and flowing forms gently echo the translucent quality of water-based works, creating a sense of rhythm and lightness.

Chorus of Colour invites viewers to experience nature not just as a subject, but as a sensation—joyful, resonant, and full of life. With its unique balance of freedom and form, this collection is a luminous expression of Kirsty’s evolving creative journey.
