About DF Artistic

Hi, I am Dennis Fenwick the artist behind DF Artistic.

At DF Artistic, I’m passionate about creating unique, weather-resistant acrylic art that brings colour and personality to your garden or home. Inspired by New Zealand’s incredible wildlife, I craft sculptures of iconic native birds like the playful fantail (Pīwakawaka), the striking Tūī, the majestic Kererū, and the beloved Kiwi. I also create vibrant sunflowers, intricate Māori designs, and delicate butterflies each piece made to withstand the elements while retaining its bold, beautiful colours for years to come.

Along with garden art, I design custom acrylic house signs that go beyond just showing an address. Whether you need house numbers, street names, a house name, or any other text, I can help you create a sign that’s both functional and reflective of your personality. These signs can become a creative and eye-catching feature of your home, crafted to be durable and UV-resistant, so they retain their rich colours and sharp details over time.

Creativity is a shared journey you bring the ideas, and I’ll work with you to turn them into reality. Whether it's a special garden sculpture, a personalized house sign, or a custom business piece, I find the process of bringing your vision to life both exciting and fun. I also love taking on requests for specific birds or garden art that you might have in mind if you can dream it, I can help make it happen!

Frequently asked questions

What are they made of?

All DF Artistic products are cut from acrylic plastic and then glued together to make the finished item. The number of parts to any one product will vary from 1 to 10, depending on the complexity of the item.

How do they cope in the weather?

The products are designed to be placed outdoors in your garden (of course you can also place them indoors). They do not rust or fade. We have had items in our own garden formany years without any deterioration in quality

Are they affected by UV

The type of plastic used is highly UV-tolerant. It would be wrong to suggest that the product will never fade or go brittle. It is fair to say, however, that it will last in its original format for many years.

Are the fixings high-grade Stainless steel?

All metal fixings (bolts, and stakes) are made from high grade stainless steel to avoid rusting.

Do you install?

Generally, no as the products are designed to be really easy to place in your garden or on your house.

Do you deliver?

Products ordered over the internet are sent by NZ Post Courier (the cost is added to your order). In some instances I do deliver if the product is not something that can be sent by courier but this is very rare
