I was commissioned by Marriott Hotel to create a mural located on the internal wall of one of their restaurants. Its purpose is to be an invitation for people to appreciate our country’s wildlife. New Zealand‘s main wildlife population on land are birds and Auckland has several open sanctuaries where we can explore and learn about the country’s unique and diverse avian species. Inspired by Auckland's native forest and its thousands of species of plants, I developed an illustration as a public window for New Zealand wildlife. Featuring birds like Tui, Piwakawaka, Tieke, Fantail, Kōkako and Kereru. Also included are distinctive Pohutukawa, Harakeke and Manuka flowers.
