Tui at My Window captures a suspended moment between interior stillness and native birdlife.

Hand-pulled on museum grade cotton paper, the tactile surface enhances its calm, intentional structure. Subtle surreal elements soften the architectural framing, making this a contemplative work for collectors drawn to narrative restraint and emotional quiet.

Collector's Questions

What makes this screen print collectible?

This print has a strict limited number of editions. Collectible prints like this often appreciate in desirability as part of a cohesive body of work from an established New Zealand printmaker.

This is a limited edition which means once sold out, this print will not be reissued. Limited editions by established contemporary artists typically increase in desirability as editions sell through.

Read more on why hand-separated screen prints have a unique value for art collectors.

What is screen printing?

Screen printing is a printing technique that pushes ink through a woven mesh screen onto a material using a stencil. The open areas of the mesh transfer the design, while the blocked areas prevent ink from passing through, creating sharp, vibrant, and highly durable designs.

What kind of paper is the screen print printed on?

Sam Leitch screen prints are printed on Fabriano Artistico paper. 100% cotton. No bleach. No acid.

Eight centuries of Italian papermaking expertise in every sheet. This isn’t about being precious. It’s about longevity.

When you’re putting 15+ hours into hand-separating colours, when Artrite Screen Printing is executing at museum-quality standards, when a collector is making an investment, the paper matters.It’ll outlive us all. That’s the point.

Quality matters when you’re putting this much into a piece. They are designed to last generations.

How is a screen print different to a photographic print? 

The difference between a poster or a photographic print and a screen print is about 15 hours of meticulous hand separation work.

Then multiple days on the screen print machine.

Every Sam Leitch print begins as an original painting and is rebuilt through hand separated color layers.

Printed with Artrite Screen Printing, New Zealands award winning fine art printers delivering museum quality editions.

This is screen printing a collectible piece of fine art not a reproduction.

The art community says

What they have to say

  • Sam has dedicated his life to exploring his creative passions, spending hours every day at his craft. There are hints of pop art, surrealist expression, and an undeniable affininity for Picasso and Jean Micheal Basquiat.

  • While many are already aware of Whenuapai-based artist Sam Leitch's potential - this colour-filled pieces and subtle local references have drawn comparison to the work of New Zealand painting greats Bill Hammond and Dick Frizzel - he's certainly not a show pony when put in the spotlight.

  • A contemporary artist with talent to spare, Sam Leitch createes transcendently surreal arworks. (...) Painting nearly every day in multiple-hour blocks, it is a true testament to Sam's passion and dedication to his career. It is no wonder his artworks are so intoxicating to view.
