About Art by Judi Lapsley Miller
Here you will find gorgeous, moody, imaginative, and joyful artworks featuring your most beloved birds and other wildlife. Our birds are already works of art! From kākā to tūī, pīwakawaka to toutouwai, and everyone in between, you'll find art here that will lift your heart and bring joy to your home.
There's art here to suit everyone. From intimate TinyArt that nestles on a shelf, to fine-art prints in a range of sizes, to huge statement-making feature wall pieces on metal.
My art is held in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe, South East Asia, and the United States.

Art & Photography
All art collectionsPhotographs are just the first step in my creative process. Using Photoshop, I digitally blend and transform images to create photo-artistic artworks. Some may look photorealistic but others will look painterly, depending on my intent. I also create mixed media and watercolour paintings.
Featured Customer Reviews
from 107 reviewsI recently purchased a very limited edition of this print. I particularly wanted the 40x40 size, contacted Judi to see if she could locate one for me as it said "sold out" on her website. Judi very kindly sold me her "proof" of it. I got it framed in Christchurch by Mark Ferringa of Picture Framing Gallery, Raycroft St, Opawa. He did an amazing job for $135.00. This is one amazing artwork, would love to have more of Judi's work in my home.

As NZ bird lovers we were fascinated by Kakapo and Keas when we first visited South Island. This superb pair are amazingly depicted here in a tree where the surroundings enhance their serenity of life in NZ! Kudos to the artist and photographer!!

We have loved NZ native birds ever since we moved to NZ 31 years ago!! Judi's photo is amazing as it catches mom and baby bird cavorting together - like a fan dance for family entertainment!!

Love the Giclee Ruru on the pearl photo paper which is perfectly placed and printed on the photo paper and just the right size! We have many art pieces by NZ and Australian artists as well as American artists, that we had limited space for our birds collection, so this print fit in perfectly!! My Mom had an owl collection when growing up, so have been fond of them over the years and the Ruru by Judi is the perfect encore and Father's Day gift for hubby, along with the new Forest and Bird book!!! Additionally, Judi wraps the photo beautifully in gift paper and an owl card for free!!!!

I fell in love with this ruru a few months ago but never actioned it. When I saw it again recently I knew I had to have my own print. Those penetrating eyes melt my heart every time I look at it, in a way I can't describe!

I was lucky enough to gain the first limited edition of this print at the Napier Girls High School art show last month. It is absolutely stunning and framed beautifully. Thank you Judi, this will always be a treasure.

I am currently overseas so have not yet seen my purchases - can’t wait though. One is a gift (if I can bear to give it away) and one for me. I’m sure I’ll love them as much as the previous cheeky Birdwatcher which evokes a laugh every time someone sees it.

This is this most gorgeous print, the detail is incredible!

Love the cards and have bought them before. Recipients are always impressed with the quality and the engaging way they depict the birds.
Look forward to some new images so that I don't send the same card to someone twice.
Thanks :)

So lovely - one of my favourite manu.

l love this print. The flowers of the harakeke match with the takahe's beak and this draws you into the picture and the wonderful plummage of the takahe. The print has pride of place next to my red leather chair and I smile everytime I see it. Ordered on a Monday, it arrived the next day. Fantastic service.

The Tui was even more spectacular once we had it in our hands, framed up and hung. We spent a long time searching for a print of a Tui that captured the majestic features that this print has. It truly made our day when we received it. Thankyou so much Judi

We just love this piece of tiny art. We adore the morepork (ruru) and just love the way Judi has framed it. The large, natural wood frame is so appropriate and looks almost three dimensional, as if the bird is deep inside its tree.

This tiny artwork is absolutely stunning, so thrilled with it. So perfect for my office wall

Love this whimsical group of Fantails. Perfect addition to my office wall.
