Combining Mokulito printmaking with wax-based pencil and gouache, the artist presents the portrait of a vividly coloured iris. The flower’s intricate form is brought to life through subtle variations in colour and line, while the fine grain of the wood — an inherent feature of Zelder’s chosen medium — remains visible across the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZelder has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Victoria, and in 2026 was selected as a finalist in the Omnia Art Prize.
