Welcome to Birdbox Home of Fine Art, Adventure, Music and Truly Beautiful Books.

Birdbox studio and gallery is the creative home of Tom Livesey - Painter, Sculptor, Writer, Landscape Artist, Musician and Gardener.

Located at

- South of Auckland, New Zealand -

Visiting is an interactive experience; guests are invited to touch and feel the artwork on display - to use their imagination and become involved in the artistic process.

For Tom art is a collaborative adventure weaving objects, colour, words, pattern and sound together to create a beautiful immersive experience for people.

Please explore the website, check out our Projects page and read some of the contributions visitors have made as they describe their discoveries.

Then listen to the Music of the magnificent Birdbox piano.

The future of Birdbox is a vast and expanding landscape of new connections made through the Books we publish, the artwork in the gallery, and steadily emerging sculpture in the garden, and most importantly - the people who choose to join in.

Birdbox studio and gallery is brand new, and free to visit whenever Leafy Hollow Botanicals is open. Or by appointment with Tom.
