Hi, I’m Rebecca — a botanical artist based in Papamoa Beach, New Zealand.

For me, painting is more than just a creative outlet — it’s a way to slow down, reconnect, and tune into the natural world. Life as a mum and small business owner can be full and fast-paced, but when I paint, everything quietens. It becomes my time for stillness and presence.

That sense of stillness is something I intentionally weave into each piece I create. Through soft, layered glazes of oil paint, I aim to capture the quiet beauty of nature — particularly flowers, which have always fascinated me. Every bloom is different. Each one brings its own challenge and story, and I love the process of finding the colours, details, and textures that make it sing.

My work is about more than just what’s seen at first glance. It’s about subtle shifts — in tone, in light, in feeling. I’ve even been told the colours in my paintings shift with the changing light in a room, which I just love.

If you’re someone who finds peace in nature or appreciates the small, beautiful moments in life, I hope my art offers you a quiet space to pause and reconnect — just as it does for me when I paint it.

Thanks for being here.
