Robyn Ninnes's popular paintings graced the Welcome Swallow Gallery across three exhibitions before her work was placed in the Permanent Collection. Taking inspiration from a stylized or representational form of art, Robyn's compositions are emblematic of Henri Rousseau and in particular his fascination with painting pink flamingos. However, her current work in the Permanent Collection, entitled, Tui Feeding Frenzy from her Tui Series, will be more familiar to a New Zealand audience. This work is ever vibrant, painted with her signature rich colours that demand attention while conveying warmth and recognition of New Zealand's rich ornithological heritage.
