Liz TURNBULL
Liz began painting 15 years ago while living in the Czech Republic. Back in NZ she was struck by a new appreciation for the surreal light and vivid colours. Her paintings are largely abstract landscapes where sky and light play a vital role. They are contemporary, are often textured and have a luminous quality.

Sharen WATSON
Sharen loves the use of multicoloured texture, and the mystery of abstraction. Currently paintings are worked in stages beginning with choice of colours that reflect her mood on the day. Transparent layers and textures are added all before a subject matter comes to light. Work is a frenzy of flying paint; pure pleasure; plump and succulent. www.smwatson.co.nz

Mandy WILLIAMS
Inspired by her two children, Mandy, in this collection, captures the essence of what it is to be a child growing up in NZ. She incorporates subtle kiwiana themes such as collecting pipis, hokey pokey ice creams and fantails whilst using a palette of vibrant colours and thick textures. A busy commission artist, Mandy's style is constantly evolving as she explores the unlimited possibilities acrylics have to offer.
