Perched high atop an impossibly balanced stack of stone, the ruru (morepork) doesn’t waver. Her gaze is piercing, timeless, steady. She sees beyond the surface—into truth, into shadow, into the spaces most of us overlook.
This painting is an invocation of inner wisdom. Of standing firm on what feels uncertain. Of knowing that the impossible becomes possible when you trust your deeper self. The brushwork echoes this layered truth—earthy rusts, stormy violets, and flashes of golden light swirl like memories, emotions, and whispers from the unseen.
This is a portal painting. It speaks to leaders, guides, visionaries. To those who sit in the liminal and are not afraid of what they see there.
Because sometimes, it takes an owl to remind us: Wisdom doesn’t shout. It simply sees.
