Lake Hayes Winter Sunset - Limited Edition Print
Free shipping on orders over $350
Artist Statement
A stunning photo of Lake Hayes in Queenstown, New Zealand, captured during a fleeting golden hour of serene beauty.
At the end of a clear winter's day, I waited by the lake, accompanied only by ducks, hoping for that perfect golden light. Initially, the glow seemed ordinary, and I began to leave. But as I glanced back, the scene had transformed—bathed in a magical light. I quickly took this shot; the moment lasted only a minute, but it was pure harmony.
This photo is a testament to patience and timing, reminding us that the most breathtaking moments are often fleeting and unexpected.

Kirsten Clark is a New Zealand artist known for her captivating landscapes and evocative floral portraits. Inspired by traditional, impressionist, and plein air paintings, Kirsten's work merges the worlds of photography and painting, resulting in artwork that possesses a painterly effect.
ABOUT LIMITED EDITION PRINTS
Unless otherwise stated, artworks are printed on premium Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm — a white cotton artist paper with a soft texture and lightly defined felt structure. It enhances the painterly quality of each image, offering rich depth and a museum-grade finish. The paper is acid- and lignin-free, ISO 9706 certified, and designed for longevity and to last generations.
The combination of the wide tonal range of the printing inks and premium fine art paper enhances the tonal depth, detail, and painterly quality of Kirsten’s artwork.
Museum-quality refers to the use of premium giclée printing processes and museum-grade fine art materials designed for exceptional longevity and colour stability.
Giclée printing uses high-resolution pigment inks with a wide tonal range to achieve rich detail, depth, and colour accuracy on museum-grade fine art paper.
With proper care, these prints are designed to last 100 years or more and have the potential to become family heirlooms passed down through generations.

ART REVIEWS
We love hearing from our art collectors - here's what they're saying.
BLUE DENIM HYDRANGEA
I purchased the Blue Denim Hydrangea for my living room and absolutely love it. The depth of colour and detail are quite mesmerising. Kirsten was amazing to work with and when I contacted her about the print she was able to do a mock up of what it would look like in my actual living room, with different sizing options.
She also placed the print in the picture at the right height to be hung and gave me options in the picture so I could see what the end picture would look like in my room.
No risk of buyers remorse, I will defintely be back to buy more.

WHITE CAMELLIAS & SKULL RING
I have selected a number of Kirsten's works over the years; her paintings and photography have been placed in my office and house. The most recent piece I bought is my favourite: "White Camellias & Skull Ring". The flowers in the vase with a skull ring at the base represent a juxtaposition of beauty and the beast. It is incredibly beautiful and is often commented on by friends.

ELECTRIC SUNSET ONETANGI
We’ve spent countless evenings at Onetangi Beach, captivated by the sunsets. This print by Kirsten does an amazing job of capturing those breathtaking colors and the peaceful vibe of the beach. We have a simple, minimalistic decor, and the custom white mat and frame make this art fit in perfectly. Every time we glance at it, we're instantly back on our favourite beach. It's a beautiful addition to our home.

MILFORD SOUND GOLDEN HOUR
Kirsten's Milford Sound Golden Hour is so mysterious and moody; it delights me every day.

BLUSHING BRIDES & HELLEBORE WINTER ROSE
I have followed Kirsten's artistic journey for many years and recently rewarded myself with 'Blushing Brides' and 'Hellebore - Winter Rose'.
As an avid gardener and lover of nature Kirsten's flower prints are like bringing the outdoors inside for me and I smile every time I look at them. They are both beautiful and tranquil.
Kirsten's eye for detail is also invaluable when choosing the right frame for your work of art.
KAREN. AUCKLAND
My home is over 120 years old, so I was looking for a colourful print that felt like a mix of old and new for the spare room. I found a beautiful sunflower print on the Kirsten Clark Art website. With Kirsten’s framing advice, I chose a simple A1 frame with clean, minimal lines — it’s perfect for the room.

HELLEBORE WINTER ROSE
I like the haunting renaissance feel of this artwork.

LASTING BLOOMS DRIED HYDRANGEAS
I cannot recommend Kirsten Clark Art enough. I was looking to modernise the artwork in my house and a friend suggested I look at her website. I chose the Lasting Blooms Dried Hydrangeas Canvas and was not disappointed. I provided a photo of the space and Kirsten sent through the art work as it would look in place, she also provided framing options and styling suggestions on how to harmonise the print with the furniture.
I have fallen back in love with my home again.
