Audrey Eagle began painting New Zealand native plants in 1952 and after more than 50 years of endeavour achieved her goal of illustrating representatives of every native tree and shrub in the land. Eagle’s Complete Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand, a two-volume book compiling the fruits of her life’s quest, was published by Te Papa Press in 2007, and contains 806 painstakingly hand-painted plates. The book earned her the 2007 Montana Medal for Non-Fiction and the Booksellers Choice award for that year.
