Home Grown is a radiant original painting from Kirsty Nixon’s Flora & Fauna collection, celebrating the gentle textures and rhythms of Aotearoa’s native flora. At its centre, soft plumes of Toetoe sway in a warm summer breeze—light and ethereal—while layered fronds of Nīkau Palm add depth and structure to the composition. In the distance, the rich green canopy of a Pōhutukawa hints at coastal treetops, with pale blue skies peeking through like whispers of a classic Kiwi summer.

Serene, sunlit, and full of movement, Home Grown captures the familiar beauty of New Zealand’s landscape with grace and quiet strength—a grounding piece that brings the outdoors in and invites you to pause, breathe, and feel at home.
