I feel truly honoured to have this gorgeous print. The colours and the flow show me hope and a bright future. The background reminds me of my home and the water brings back the memories of being on the water in my childhood. The bird i see as myself with the future wide open with so much promise to come, which is pretty impressive at the age of 56. This beautiful print brings me calm and serenity in a tumultuous time in my life.

Dancing dolphins is a reminder of my father who dived with dolphins often and who is now permanently with them. The stylized background, the waves and memories of my past. A picture that touches my soul.

Very special to get an original. The kotare is safe and sound - somewhere where I can see it daily.

It's so beautiful, Silke, and it sure does have a special place for us. The Harbour is our playground - we spend a lot of time on the water. Where we live we can see down the Harbour, from Limestone Island down to the Heads, so your painting really resonates with us. I took a photo of it next to our beloved lithograph of the Whangarei Harbour - it's pretty special and befitting. We love it. Happy days, and thank you so much.

Magnolia Magic is absolutely beautiful.

It looks amazing! Thank you so much for all the love you poured into this magnificent piece of art that now graces our stairway. At the top of the stairs I'm eye to eye with the piwakawaka, and it makes me smile every day.

Great calendar. Love the idea of seeing a new artwork every month. Recommend

Loving the art work. So pleased I found your lovely calendar.

This is a lovely warm piece that perfectly suits its spot.

Lovely piece and perfectly suits the room.

Love having these bright and beautiful cards ready to go when I need one!

I fell in love with Silke's "Dance of the Piwakawaka" painting as it's a NZ native, just like me! I have a resident fantail which visits me nearly everyday, I like to think it's my Dad who has passed checking in on me. The vibrant colours and joyful energy make me smile too, a signature trait of the artist. I'm very blessed to own the original masterpiece.

We have several of Silke’s paintings and love them all! We were immediately attracted by
the bright colours and distinctive individual design of her paintings.
They’re such bold and beautiful statement pieces that look so amazing on our walls and
make us smile every time we see them.

I fell in love with the Dancing Dolphins when I saw it shortly before Silke’s exhibition in
Wellington. (I bought it before the exhibition opened, in case I missed out!) It’s playful and
colourful and reminds me of sailing around the Northland coast, when dolphins would
happily play under the bowsprit of our yacht. They were looking up at us riding our bow
wave, while we looked back with a sense of youthful delight.

We have one of your delightful Oriental Bay abstracts which we bought at the NZ Art
Show which has pride of place on our lounge wall.
I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your colourful artwork and how much
enjoyment this has given my wife and I over the years. Choosing it was easy. We both
said 'that one!' at the same time, seeing it among the dozens of others as we wandered
round the show.
I wish you and your painting much future success!
