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.

from 111 reviewsJust lovely and Judi was super helpful when I had some questions.
Beautiful art work and the frame is amazing looks so much better in person.
Love both the tui and fantails as our favorite NZ native birds and these earrings show off their beauty in the best way as the earrings are light weight and move with the breeze so it seems that the birds are flying! Lovely look and creative colours to enhance these beautiful birds so they will last a lifetime!!

Width 1.2 cm The size of these beautiful bird earrings is perfect as they are light weight for comfort and the colours are lovely too! We do love our native NZ birds and this is a creative way to showcase these birds to enjoy life and beauty!!
I 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.
