Travel doesn’t always announce itself in landmarks or itineraries. Sometimes it reveals itself in pauses, glances, and quiet days.
New Zealand, the Nuanced is a Slow Art travel sketchbook shaped by looking, lingering, and responding to place. Moving between on-location sketches, photographs, and layered digital artworks, it captures small moments, shifting light, and the quiet emotional texture of travel rather than grand narratives.

New Zealand Summer Colours
A small Slow Art extra
While sketching my way through New Zealand, I kept noticing the light.
Not the dramatic moments, but the in-between ones:
soft greens after rain, long summer blues, pale sun-warmed yellows, the muted tones of land and water living quietly together.
This small colour palette grew out of those observations.
It’s a distilled set of summer colours from New Zealand, the Nuanced, made as a gentle companion to the book.
