I am exhibiting a large body of my work at the NZ Art Show in Wellington over Queens birthday weekend May 31-June 4, 2018. It's held at TSB arena. I have worked hard in my studio over the last year creating 45 artworks in encaustic, ranging in price from $100-$1000. A price point that should please first time collectors, to people who are wanting something a bit larger in scale for their home. I love that you can cluster smaller pieces of mine together to create a statement feature on you're wall. The tiniest artwork is called Little Puriri at 14x10cm and I think it would look so cool in one of those vogue mobile tiny homes or gipsy vans. Well that's where I envision it anyways ( See pic below)..... My largest piece and most expensive original encaustic artwork is called Rongoā. It is 70x70cm and is cradled into an up-cycled old card table. Yup, I striped it of it's manky green velvet.
With this artwork, I am celebrating New Zealand bush, it's plants, their medicinal properties and their power to heal. As I work, the organic and aromatic nature of the beeswax, mixed with tree resin, helps me connect to nature. The falling Kawakawa leaves represent our grandchildren and the shadows, their ancestors. Will their still be our native bush and Rongoa for our grandchildren to enjoy in the years to come? This artwork should be a reminder to tread lightly on our forests and be conservationists in our own right. (See the pic below.) Framed: Yes Size: 70 x 70 x 4 Medium: Mixed Media, Photography, Other Style: Modern, Abstract, Other I look forward to seeing you at the show. Comments are closed.
