After teaching Art for 15 years, Whangarei-based artist Judy Woods has spent the last two years developing an intuitive painting style that explores rich layers of both family history and the painting process itself.

Studies towards her doctorate in biochemistry brought artist Akshita Wason to New Zealand in 2010. Originally from India and a keen environmentalist, her artwork combines themes of adventure, environmental issues and the ever-shifting nature of the world

For Florence Egasse, the museums and galleries of Paris were “playgrounds for the eyes” and the artist considers childhood visits and hours spent enjoying works by the modern masters to be a major catalyst in developing her lifelong passion for art.
