The Artworks tell a story of an artist daughter supporting her artist mother through a journey together.
The artist laid sheets of paper down in a space with little light, poured on water but couldn’t really see the water, she couldn’t really see where she used a wide flat brush to move the water around, She guessed where it was, she dropped black fluid paint into the water that couldn’t really see. And then she walked away.
Enchanted by Whorls is an exhibition full of patterns, impressions and circles. Seema is inspired by her Fijian Indian culture. She uses acrylic paints, pastels and ink to create her art pieces. Her artwork is colourful and intriguing with a lot of focus on fine detailed work.
Free Workshop - Give Painting a go with Seema, Wed & Thur, 10.30am - 12noon
The artworks in my Victorian Animal Family series present animals as if they were human beings. The viewer is invited to examine the portraits as if they were a family group, a collection of distantly related aunts, uncles, and cousins. Each animal has its own distinct personality and unique story.
The series of ten oil paintings is the culmination of a project that started at the beginning of 2018. Each painting takes several months to complete, as I work in thin glaze layers.
Ever since Maui first pulled his fish up from the depths, the sea has had a constant influence on Wellington and its people. It forms the land, the weather, the colours, and our feelings. We are surrounded by it and immersed in it.
To celebrate this unique relationship a group of some of Wellington’s finest artists are presenting an exhibition of ocean inspired paintings, prints and jewellery.
Artists: Jeremy Bennett, Margaret Elliot, Annie Hayward, Gerda Leenards, Steve Mahoney, Alfred Memelink, Lindsay Missen
I am a Wellington-based painter. This is my first solo exhibition and includes two recent series of large-scale work – the Hound series and the Rally series.
The rhythmic colour studies that make up both series aim to capture a sweet spot between tension and release.
I am drawn to process and exploring how colour, light and form interact. Equally important to my life and practice is following my intuition; being playful and inquisitive.

Two fluids - air and water
What if the air was water? what if sea-levels rise and some of the air becomes water? and what will become of the sea’s wonderful inhabitants as the oceans warm?
Is there anything in the world more graceful than the leisurely flight of an eagle-ray?
Sometimes we only really SEE the astounding beauty of the natural world when it’s taken out of context….Mountains, bush as homes for eels; whales swimming through air….
