Fern II is a serene original by Kirsty Nixon, offering a textural study of Aotearoa’s native bush. Painted on a circular canvas, it layers the graceful fronds of nīkau palms, the silvery detail of fern, and a blooming cabbage tree crowned with delicate white flowers.

Soft blues of sky break gently through the foliage, with the faintest glimpse of an ocean horizon at the centre – inviting the eye to wander deeper into the scene. The work feels calm and meditative, like a window into the heart of the New Zealand landscape.

A tribute to the textures and tones of the bush, Fern II embodies the essence of Aotearoa: peaceful, grounding, and timeless.
