Purple Leaf (4 holes) – Helen Jean

This wall-hung sculptural artwork celebrates the beauty of the Pohutukawa leaf. Each leaf is individually carved from fibre glass composites and paired with a whittled NZ Manuka stalk. Gold leaf accents, oil paint, and a resin finish add depth and texture. Available in a range of vibrant seasonal colours, this piece is a unique tribute to nature.
