Piwakawaka (Rhipidura fuliginosa) are sentinels of the native forest, courageous and incredibly agile, issuing all visitors a friendly challenge to be tika and pono (honest and true).  

Fantails flick their tails to stir nearby insects into movement, making them easier to catch.  

Our little hero perches on a vintage honey tin which holds clematis, Marlborough rock daisy, Mount Cook Lily, titoki berries, kowhai and pohutukawa.

Perhaps he came inside looking for dinner, knowing his prey's attraction to sweet smells. 

Waiheke Island based artist Tanya Wolfkamp believes every object deserves equal consideration however humble and everybody should be able to own beautiful things regardless of their budget.  This idea & belief comes from her guiding star, William Morris (1834-1896).

After gaining a degree in painting from Ilam School of Fine Arts, Tanya turned to the applied arts and explored set and mural painting, textile design under the direction of  Peter. J. Hall and design directing at Codi Design.

Her approach to design is as broad as the imagery she chooses to illustrate.
