Kristin Ivill is a self-taught artist from Glendowie, Auckland, who paints nature, especially New Zealand birds. Her work often shows birds, butterflies, insects and bats in mystical trees and landscapes, and her love of the colour green shows in how light falls through forest leaves. Her paintings use layers of intuitive marks, paint and other mediums. The online shop sells original paintings and drawings, art prints and greeting cards, and prices can be shown in several currencies including NZD. The website describes an Inktober series of endangered, threatened and extinct species, and says 80% of the proceeds from a series of birds in cages go to help children and families in need.
Her work is shown in galleries, and the website lists No1 Parnell, Rawene and Emma Jean Gallery in Silverdale. The site also carries her passion for predator free New Zealand and the environment. The shop works online, so visitors can see the artwork before buying.
