A Matariki Gift from Artist Helen Casey
The Magical Morepork - Artist Helen Casey
With Matariki upon us and School Holidays just around the corner, we hope to create a tradition with some of New Zealand’s finest Artists that helps make this time memorable for Whanau across Aotearoa / New Zealand.
Wellington based artist Helen Casey recently created the above artwork for a client.
“After creating the Magical Morepork I thought he would make a lovely Matariki weekend chill-time colouring in activity for young an old alike. So break out the colour pencils and print it off or colour in on one of the many down-loadable art apps available. Have fun” - Helen

About Helen Casey
Born on the island of Cyprus to Scottish parents, I spent my childhood in the wild Western Isles of Scotland so New Zealand's Te Ika A Maui is the largest island where I have made my home.
Growing up in Breaker Bay was amazing for a child obsessed with creatures of all kinds from birds to bugs to fish so I picked up a pencil and began drawing them. Dreaming of being an artist I graduated from Wellington School of Design in 1992. After many years as an illustrator I turned my focus to being an artist. My intricately detailed wildlife art is influenced by my time as a scientific illustrator at Te Papa, and my own traditional Celtic visual culture.

Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
