Kirsty Horrell | Hand Embroidery
I live in the hills in Te Miro and make artworks, often inspired by the world around me using hand embroidery.
Rebecca Ngāpō | Watercolourist
Rebecca is a Taranaki born and Waikato based artist who works primarily in watercolour. Her practice reflects aspects of daily life, drawing inspiration from local people and places, family narratives, nature, and fleeting moments in time.
Lisa Scranney-Palmer | Painter
Lisa is drawn to create paintings inspired by nature and human design or architectures. Line and texture being particularly important.
Mary Martin | Painter
Living locally in Cambridge, I paint when I can, mainly working in acrylic paints. Keen to try new techniques and explore the world of art.
Caroline Peacocke | Printmaker & Painter
