Quiet Time is a fine art Giclée print by Kirsty Nixon that invites the viewer into a moment of stillness within Aotearoa’s native bush. A solitary Tūī perches calmly on a slender branch, gazing skyward through a break in the canopy where soft, dusty blue skies emerge. The surrounding foliage—golden Toetoe, Tī Kōuka (Cabbage Tree), Nīkau Palm, and Harakeke (Flax)—layers the scene with natural texture and movement, creating a lush, grounded setting that feels both alive and serene.

Tūī, native to New Zealand, are revered for their shimmering plumage and lyrical, complex birdsong. In Māori tradition, they are considered sacred messengers—symbols of life fulfilment, spiritual harmony, and inner confidence.

Printed with archival inks on museum-grade paper, this limited edition piece is part of Kirsty’s Flora & Fauna collection. Quiet Time brings a sense of calm observation and refined beauty to any interior—an artwork that honours the poetry of pause in the natural world.
