Collection: Beth McGill

Palmerston North based artist Beth Te Aroha McGill of Ngāti Whatua and Ngāti Maniapoto descent has turned her love for native birds into a show of art at the New Zealand Art Show in Wellington. She paints images of birds on feathers, an idea encouraged by her friend.

My painted feathers capture the detail and personality of common and endangered birds, plants, scenes and trees of New Zealand of which I love so much.
