The progression of Nagahata’s work still contains exquisite patterns and fine lines that reflect the intricate process of etching, but now uses ink and watercolours to create originals instead of prints. This unique connection gives her works a special feel and presence that enables the viewer to get entranced and lost in the details.
Nagahata takes inspiration from the numerous unique and beautiful animals New Zealand has to offer, as well as various children’s book illustrators and traditional Japanese art.
