Kotare Sacred Kingfisher - Limited Edition Fine Art Print

Kotare Sacred Kingfisher - Limited Edition Fine Art Print

A fleeting moment of wild beauty, held still.

There's something magical about spotting a kōtare. Still one moment, gone the next in a flash of electric blue. This hand-embellished limited edition print captures that split-second — and brings a quiet sense of calm and connection into your home.

Each print is individually signed, numbered, and hand-embellished with a subtle silver shimmer applied by Karen to each print by hand. It catches the light as you move past — a detail that never looks quite the same twice.

Edition of 100 of each size. Once sold out, this print will never be reprinted.

    Very lovely experience and beautiful art!

    I really loved meeting Karen when I picked up the beautiful Kotare print from her home! The print is now making a kind of nothing-space a space that attracts the eye 😊 If I had more wall space, I would definitely have more of Karen's art to cover them.

    Marianne, it was such a joy meeting you. There's something really special about being able to hand a print to the person it's going home with. And 'making a nothing-space a space that attracts the eye' I might just borrow that, what a beautiful way to put it! That's exactly what I hope art does for people. I hope the Kotare keeps catching your eye every single day, and fingers crossed the wall space situation improves soon 😊

    I LOVE THIS!!

    I LOVE THIS!! It's just like the Kingfisher that I've seen a few times recently while out walking. I have noticed that it only shows itself when I am feeling peaceful and when I look at this print I get that same sense of peace. Stunning!

    Oh, this absolutely made my day to read, thank you so much! I love that you've been spotting real Kotare out on your walk. The fact that the print brings you that same feeling of peace is honestly one of the loveliest things I could hear as an artist. That's exactly what I was trying to capture when I painted it.

    Very happy with Kingfisher print

    I am so impressed by your talent. I love my print although I haven’t organised framing yet. It will end up in the lounge so that visitors can ask me about it and I can send them your way. Thank you 🪺

    Oh, this made me smile, thank you so much! No rush on the framing at all; half the fun is finding just the right one. And I love the idea of the Kotare becoming a conversation piece in your lounge, what a lovely thought. I really appreciate you wanting to send people my way, that's genuinely one of the kindest things you can do. Enjoy your print!

    Framing & presentation

    All prints are sold unframed unless a framing option is selected.

    Where framing is available, frames are made from solid wood and glazed with glass to protecting the artwork.

    Framed prints arrive ready to hang straight from the box.
