Enid Hunter studied graphic design at the Hull Regional College of Arts and Crafts in England before she moved to New Zealand in 1965.

Her first New Zealand stamp designs – the native New Zealand butterfly series - were submitted in response to a New Zealand Post Office competition and were released as stamps in 1970. Featuring strong graphic lines and rich colours, Enid’s illustrated native butterflies are still appreciated today for their simple yet vivid portrayals. The stamps have been transformed into beautiful prints, greeting cards and pins.
