Nikau Card by Hannah Webster

This beautiful Nikau Card is based on the original gouache artwork by Wellington artist Hannah Webster.

"The way the fronds of a Nīkau palm stand up strong together remind me of a crown... I've painted some particularly beautiful ones I saw on a walk out near Karekare beach earlier this year. So lush, and so so precious."

Wellington illustrator and textile designer Hannah Webster meticulously hand-draws illustrations of Aotearoa's native forests to explore her relationship with the world around her. “I like the complexity of drawing a tree: it’s so different from sketching something solid like a house, where it’s easy to understand the basic structure and design", Hannah said in an Urbis magazine interview. "There’s a distinct beauty in the small details and subtle hues."

Hannah graduated with a Masters in Design from Massey University in mid-2015. On her instagram account @forestdrawn, Hannah chronicles an ongoing project illustrating Aotearoa's forests.
