About this item

Ōi/Grey-Faced Petrel - Karanga ā Hape/Cornwallis' Special Species

TITLE: Flight of the Ōi

ARTIST: Jay Linden

MEDIUM: Oil painting

DIMENSIONS: 400mmHx550mmW

Captivated by the Grey‑faced Petrel (Oi), Jay Linden celebrates both the majesty of their flight and the fragile resilience of their chicks, left alone in burrows while parents range far over the peninsula in search of food. Her painting captures their spirit, inviting viewers to witness their courage and to stand with them in protecting Aotearoa’s wild places.

Based in Cornwallis, West Auckland, Linden has practised painting and printmaking for over two decades, developing a distinctive voice grounded in the natural world. Her work has been exhibited widely and continues to engage collectors and nature lovers alike, making her a respected presence in Aotearoa’s contemporary art scene.
