The Kokako bird is endemic to New Zealand, and one of the few species remaining from the ancient wattle bird family. Once there were only a few breeding pairs left, but the Kokako is making a comeback thanks to intense conservation. They're native forest birds, and are known for their distinctive song.
In Maori legend, the Kokako filled it's bright blue wattles with water, bringing it to Maui as he fought the sun. Maui rewarded the Kokako by giving it long, strong legs, enabling it to bound through the forest with ease. In Maori proverbs, Kokako were regarded as 'fleet of foot'.
Original print design by Hansby Design, New Zealand
I purchased this print and had it framed. The Puteketeke now has a place of honor in my living room. The print is amazing and I love the color saturation.
We have purchased these keyrings for our B & B Villas. A perfect touch of class for accomodation thay sits nestled at the foot of Sanctuary Mountain. Beautifully designed and manufactured, we love them and keep replacing them when we have the odd mishap. Thank you Cathy !
We have different tastes when it comes to art, so we had spent a lot of time looking for a perfect piece for our living room.
We were wanting something from a New Zealand artist so we were thrilled to come across Cathy’s art. We saw her Tuatara print and fell in love with the bold design, clean lines and surprising level of detail. We could tell the design and colours would work perfectly in our space.
When it arrived we were delighted with it, and we were so glad we followed the advice on Cathy’s website to go big. We loved it so much we went back online and ordered another print. Months on we still smile when we see them.
I love this picture of the tuatara by Cathy. It’s pared back palette of charcoal and olive greens is restful, contemplative and earthy. I feel connected to nature when I gaze at it on my wall. The clean lines, use of colour and lifelike quality make this one of my favourite pictures in the house.
'Last week, I received my kingfisher-print and it exceeds all my expectations. It’s just gorgeous. The striking colours, the elegant lines: thank you very much!' Wieberen, Netherlands
