A serene portrait with a cheeky twist. A composed woman sits sideways, her hair neatly pinned back, while a pale blue bird perches on her head as if it’s part of her. The lifelike brushstrokes keep her gaze calm. The playful idea adds a bit of mischief. We love how the stillness draws you in for a second glance.

Soft taupe anchors the piece. Hints of slate blue and sea-glass hues form the dress and feathers. A gentle blush adds warmth to the skin. This colour scheme suits pale walls, native timber frames, or black details. It stands out on a gallery wall or as a bold solo print, perfect for Kiwi homes.

• Mood: thoughtful with a playful edge
• Colours: cool blues, muted greens, subtle neutrals
• Design tip: ample negative space keeps the room feeling open
• Chat starter: the bird eventually steals the show

Available in various sizes, ideal for a cosy nook, hallway, or above a sideboard. Let this artwork settle gently into your space.
