About the Artist

PUARANGI-NZ HIBISCUS PRINT by Lisa Baudry.

"The hibiscus is such a beautiful flower and an incredibly popular motif in Hawaiian and Pacific Island textiles. I thought it would be fun to do a New Zealand version with our lesser-known native hibiscus, Puarangi"

I was fortunate enough to discover my love of drawing and painting at art class in high school and felt drawn to pursue an artistic career. I moved from the family farm where I was raised to Auckland to study graphic design at Auckland Institute of Technology. My first creative jobs were in home decor, painting ceramics for several Auckland tableware companies. I loved seeing how a decorative design could sell a product. In 2014, after about a decade in the graphic design field, I got re-acquainted with the field of surface pattern design and since then have had some wonderful opportunities to develop my work in this direction. I love going for walks in nature and my patterns often get inspired by what I discover there. I observe and photograph plants that catch my eye, and if possible collect specimens to draw back in my studio.

The hibiscus is such a beautiful flower and an incredibly popular motif in Hawaiian and Pacific Island textiles. I thought it would be fun to do a New Zealand version with our lesser-known native hibiscus, Puarangi. The leaves on this plant are quite narrow with tooth-like ridges along the perimeter. The flower is creamy in colour with a maroon centre. With this design I used some artistic license with the colours, layering the flowers with the distinctive flower pods and leaves in the background.

My travel companion

These come with me on every overseas trip to the islands. So light and breezy, easy packing and if the nights are abit cooler they will keep in some warmth, but also breathable on those hot days. Love them!

Absolutely stunning print and fabric! The design of these pants hid the puku and felt amazing! Brought to wear to Senior Tropical Dance for our girl and she kept saying she felt beautiful! The Print and pants will be cherished and worn to both formal and informal occasions in the future. Highly recommend.

I bought this t-shirt as a gift for my husband and I am so impressed . The quality of the fabric is better than other shirts I’ve bought from similar businesses and the packaging/ presentation is amazing, I really appreciated the personal touches.

Puhoro kakau

Beautiful designed dress. It just flows beautifully especially for me being short. Nga mihi Kate

Fabric a little heavier than I thought so will wear in autumn, love the design, colours slightly different than I pictured. All good

I purchased two this is the second. Both are fantastic aover these last few days with high humidity the fabric felt cool and airy

I got the XL, I'm 74 kg 167 cm in height I initially thought maybe I could have got the L.
Then I tried it on the fabric and draw string pulled it onto shape. The fabric is so beautiful light free and it hangs well. No crunching up the rear just elegant and soft. You will not be disappointed.
I'm glad I purchased 2! Ka rawe

Lovely!
