I have always been interested in art and after a very busy career, I took time out to attend Art Courses for 3 years at Ponsonby Art Station with tutor Matthew Browne. This was the start of being inspired to paint and try a variety of techniques.
I enjoy telling a story in my paintings and never tire of standing at my easel creating from my imagination.
I have lived both in Gulf Harbour and Red Beach for the past 9 years and love being part of the local art scene.
Adrienne Matthews
I am a local artist who has lived in Millwater since 2013. I am largely self-taught, although I have attended classes at the Art Station in Ponsonby, the Lake House in Takapuna and at Estuary Arts here in Orewa. I'm a member of the Hibiscus Coast Artists group and a member of Estuary Arts. I love bright colours and happy themes. Most of my work has been in acrylic on canvas although I have used pastels, watercolour, and most recently, alcohol inks. My new interest in alcohol inks was kindled by seeing the works of a Tairua artist while on holiday in the Coromandel. I subsequently returned to Tairua and spent time at the artist's studio having some very valuable personal tuition. My style is always changing as I attempt new challenges, but tends to be mainly abstract with hints of realism. I have found that it is often these quirkier works that discerning buyers prefer. As I broaden my horizons, I’m sure my style will continue to evolve.
Helen Flashman
I studied art in London at Tottenham technical colelge. I was told at college not to bother trying to paint and was directed to art apprciation instead. I returned to painting in my later years and find it a great source of enjoyment. I have triedd all mediums and have settled into acrylic ink and paint. I love texture. My style can be anything but is generally large and could be described as loose realism. I want you to recognise what it is but know that it is a pianting. I draw with my paint brush and adapt and alter my composition as it evolves.
