Collections
My artwork is part of various private collections both nationally and internationally.
I'm Sina Sibler, an artist based in Te Anau, nestled in the heart of Fiordland, New Zealand. My work is a tribute to the rich biodiversity and captivating landscapes of Southland, where I create intricate black-and-white drawings using ballpoint pens, graphite, and ink.
My drawings grow out of my time wandering the forests of Fiordland where moss, bark and bird calls weave together into a living tapestry. With a background in conservation biology I look for the hidden connections between plants and animals and bring that understanding to every piece.
I hope my work encourages you to pause and notice the small wonders that nature offers each day. By focusing on the details of this unique region I aim to spark memories and inspire a deeper care for the world around us.
