A nice feature in HOUSE OF THE YEAR

PETAL POWER

Auckland-based photographer Helen Bankers has a passion for flora and fauna. This artwork, Peony Cluster Blue (1200mm x 860mm unframed print), is from her series of floral prints partly inspired by the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe. “I enjoy looking at the fine form and intricacy of flowers and plants,” says Helen. “From that passion grew a series with a focus on botanical studies.” The abstract images, which often combine close-up detail, colour and texture, are part of limited-edition collection of fine-art prints. Helen’s collection is available at helenbankers.com.'
