This luxurious silk and wool scarf design is from an original painting of a Tūī feeding on the common Flax or Harakeke (Phormium tenax) by internationally renowned artist Sue Wickison.
Several flax plants grow along the front of Sue’s garden which is overlooked by her studio. The brightly coloured yellow and red flowers are a beautiful spectacle in the summer, especially when the beautiful iridescent Tūī (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ), birds endemic to New Zealand, come to feed, boisterous and busy working up and down the four metre flower stems eating the nectar.
Sue Wickison is an internationally acclaimed botanical artist and scientific illustrator. Born and raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa, she developed a lifelong passion for plants through the influence of her father who is a teacher, amateur botanist, and artist. She later moved to New Zealand, where she is now based.
After studying Scientific Illustration at Middlesex University, London, she spent nine years as a botanical illustrator at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Renowned for her exquisitely detailed watercolour paintings, Sue combines scientific accuracy with artistic excellence, and her award-winning work is held in prestigious collections around the world.
