Local Artists

I am a full time artist specialising in equine and animal art, I have my own horses and recently featured in the April Horse and Pony Magazine.I paint in acrylic on any “canvas” including old wood, sawmill blades etc to keep my art interesting and unique.

I’m 29 years old and am a artist based in Christchurch. I have a degree in fine art which I obtained from Edinburgh University in 2013.

I specialise in printmaking, painting, illustration and ceramics. My work is centered around New Zealand’s wild spaces and

I am a self taught photographer from Wellington. I love using motion, light and multiple exposures to create impressionist scenes that challenge our perceptions of reality.

I love to dabble in all areas of art. I have spent my recent years exploring the world of impressionist photography but I have now found myself with paint brush in hand!

All works are photo based. Subjects vary from trees, seascapes, birds and horses. Roseanne has been exploring Wax Mixed Media since the end of 2016. This medium gives her photography an added element of depth and texture. She uses a combination of photography, encaustic medium, cold wax and oil paint.

A lot of my artworks are inspired by the natural beauty found in our country and world, from flora & fauna to landscapes and birds. Capturing the atmosphere, mood or feeling of what I’m painting is what inspires a lot of my work, with the theme of nature flowing through each individual piece.

In the 1980s my work was represented on 10 x New Zealand Post stamps featuring endangered New Zealand birds.

My work has been on 14 stamps including 2 x NZ Gamebird Habitat stamps and prints.

I now work with metalpoint, using 24kt gold and pure silver.

M Francis’ paintings are poetic, conveying emotions of tranquility and peace. They have glowing color reflecting beauty and harmony. These painting create a refuge from the hectic, stress filled life most of us face in the modern age. Images of the landscape draped in veils of mystery and twilight remind us of natures powerful ability to heal and refresh our tired spirits.

I am a Painter and photographer who was brought up in Northland but currently live in Dunedin. I am of Nga Puhi, Ngati Kura, and Nga Puhi ki Whaingaroa descent.

While living here in Dunedin, I completed my Bachelor of Visual arts (2017), Post Graduate Certificate in Visual Arts(2018) and my Master of Visual Arts(2019) with a photography-based project called “Suzie No Friends”.

I work mainly in pen drawing, watercolour and printmaking.
My work varies from botanical works, which look at plant morphology and ecological adaptation, to darker pieces which focus on the human condition.

I am an artist based in Whangarei Northland. I explore many mediums and genres.
I have planted a few dozen roses in front of my studio – The Blue Door Studio – at The Quarry Arts Centre – and unsurprisingly my work often features the rose.

I’m a portrait painter working in oil paints, watercolours and printmaking. My dedication to painting people is because of my fascination with the endless variety of personality, expression and gesture and beauty of the human form.

I started painting about 10 years ago after a few acrylic painting lessons. I started out painting acrylic landscapes, but soon moved into oil painting landscapes and portraits.

My art is what it is. I paint what I feel like painting.
