The Landing

The Landing – Kotare
Anna Scott

A moment of stillness and flight, The Landing captures the kotare (sacred kingfisher) in quiet observation and graceful motion. Drawn in delicate pencil and gilded with gold leaf, the work shimmers with natural light, celebrating the balance between strength and serenity in Aotearoa’s native birdlife.

Created on natural wood and sealed with archival varnish, this piece invites reflection on place, time, and the beauty of our local environment.
