This series, begun in New Zealand, reflects my perceptions of this complex island culture.

Images of Maori and western culture are taken from various sources collected during my stay, including a rare early history dated 1830.

Colors are mixed with coastal Pacific Ocean water, with additional pigments from New Zealand irises.

16 paintings, 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", in natural wood frames with loosely painted white inner borders.
