Composed as a portrait, without reference to a particular time or place, 'O te Ngahere' celebrates the beauty and majesty of the native New Zealand bush and our connection with the land.
I am particularly inspired by the relationship between the softness of the atmosphere and the complexity of the foliage.
Part of my 'Silver Linings' collection of atmospheric Waiheke treescapes. The heart of this collection is about choosing to notice the blessings in unexpected places.
