Splashing and laughing over the edge

This is the sort of place you crave after a long, hot trek through the hills. You follow the sound of rushing water and there it is—the waterfall. Crystal clear water laughs and splashes over the edge of fern-covered rocks. Here, you can sit down and rest sore legs and shoulders. You can splash the sweat and grime off your face and the back of your neck. And, you can take a long, cool drink.

At this point, it behoves you to take a look around, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot her. I say “lucky”, because she doesn’t appear to just anyone. Also, because she’ll seem to have water flowing from her fingertips. And, mostly, because everyone knows one should keep in a naiad’s good graces—especially when one has partaken of her waters. I recommend the apple at the bottom of your pack (not the half-eaten, mostly gooey chocolate bar) to leave as an offering. And, when you leave, you’ll be surprised just how utterly refreshed you feel after that short stop by her waterfall.

Limited edition fine art prints

Giclée printed on 100% cotton rag fine art paper and hand-signed and numbered by the artist. This artwork comes in 2 sizes:

Large (A2 / 594 × 420 mm / 23.4 × 16.5 inches). Edition of 1.
Small (A3 / 420 × 297 mm / 16.5 × 11.7 inches). Edition of 10.

At the large A2 size, only 1 of this artwork will be created. At the small A3 size, only 10 of this artwork will be created. Once the edition is complete, that’s all folks—it will be retired forever.

I print artworks to order. Processing time depends on how busy my local printing house is—it usually takes 2 weeks for an unframed print.

Framed artworks hanging in an interior. There are white wooden floorboards, a comfy white couch with cushions and two artworks on the wall. The central artwork is of a waterfall, white spray gushing over a mossy bank. At the top of the waterfall sits a river naiad. She seems to have water pouring from one hand, adding to the waterfall.

Brush stroke detail of white water against the green and yellow bank.

Framing

The large A2 size is framed and arrives ready to hang on the wall. I hand-picked this timeless frame for this collection. Those splashes of red ochre beautifully match the colours of our wild New Zealand landscapes.

The small A3 size comes unframed so you can choose the framing to accent your own décor.

(Please note that I don’t ship framed artworks overseas due to the glass.)

Within New Zealand, I offer free shipping for the small A3, unframed prints in this collection. Otherwise—for framed, or shipping overseas—shipping prices will vary. Get in touch, let me know what exotic location you’re at and I’ll get you an estimate. Read the shipping policy here for more information.

As limited edition artworks are printed to order and hand-signed and numbered, all sales are final—so please choose carefully! Read the return policy here.
