The Puriri Moth is New Zealand’s largest native moth, recognised for its luminous green wings and intricate natural markings.

Hand-painted in watercolour, this illustrated series explores the delicate textures and quiet beauty of these nocturnal forest dwellers through detailed observational illustration. A symbolic study of healing, intuition, and inner transformation.
