Angela Croft
Angela’s work is based around tourism in Rotorua, inspired
by a statement that features on the Resene website. “Rotorua
is a natural wonderland of geothermal activity, New Zealand native
bush and beautiful lakes. This natural beauty is underpinned by

Her assemblages relate directly to each of these four features with
an additional piece on Architecture as an extension on the statement…

Candy Clarke
Candy Clarke has been painting for over 25 years more or less continuously since graduating from art school in 1983 where she majored in graphics. She balances this with her work as a freelance graphic designer. She paints her works in acrylic on acrylic using everything from sheets of Perspex to moulded shapes and small blocks to more conventionally, framed sheets. Because Cindy paints on the back of the Perspex you look through the sheet to the image. This means she is painting backwards to build up the layers of paint in the reverse order… more |

Charlene Lucas, CLArts Home of Affordable Arts & Design
Charlene’s work is based on abstract and texture. She loves a painting that has colour and lots of texture, the type that makes you want to reach out and touch it. What she loves about abstract is that every single person will make the painting to be something of their own imagination. that her work has been bought and is hanging in someone’s home is all the inspiration she needs… more |

Charmaine Pomerenke
Charmaine Pomerenke was a co-owner of a fine art gallery when she was inspired to take up painting. She attended weekend workshops, but was drawn to abstract work with 'paint drips'.

 |
Cristina Silaghi
Cristina Silaghi's paintings could be characterised as abstract; however, they often exhibit qualities associated with representational art, such as animation or a sense of space. Christina applies paint directly to paper or canvas; alternatively, she allows paint to dry on a
PVC sheet, and employs collage and decoupage to reshape the paint before
adding it to her works... more |

Dan Mills
Dan started his muralist career by painting murals during his first year
of Art school in Blenheim in 1995 when he worked on a community project
called 'Murals for Marlborough under the guidance of two professional
artists. This laid the foundation for Dan to branch out on his own mural
projects, which he continues to do today. In 1996 he undertook a number
of mural projects in Lower Hutt and created volunteer pieces for
Rainforest action groups that led to some murals at the HQ of the World
Wildlife Fund... more |
 |
Dave Fowell
Dave Fowell’s intricately wrought timber sculptures are given added dimension with often vibrant colour. Dave Fowell is a pragmatic sort of an artist. About three years ago he began creating wooden rather than stone sculptures, partly because he could work on them indoors during the winter. Now he’s painting his wooden sculptures, partly to stop them looking weathered as they age. But painting the large, intricately built works has also brought a huge creative bonus by emphasising their form and creating more impact. It also brings together Dave’s love of sculpture and painting, marking yet another development in his exploration of artistic expression… more |
 |
Debbie Thyne
Debbie has always liked the sleek-yet- boxy simplicity of Resene’s colour chart wallets for specifiers with their potential as portable, modular painting supports. Based on this, Debbie’s bee image is specifically designed for their black surfaces, to repeat randomly across the wall in a formation of flight. The handles suggest a portmanteau exhibition, transient, packagable, playful. The bee is iconic... more |

sheet of corrugated iron for outside decoration. This led Gaye to
Resene Testpots and to experiment with outside art... more |
 |
Gerry Copas
The current focus of Gerry’s work centres around the ambiguity and the absurdity of words and phrases. Gerry says “words in my case become the object of my art. I use text and language as a vehicle for examining issues of perception and reality in relation to how we receive and communicate words. I find the physicality of the letters, such as the positive/negative spaces created by the typography also of interest from the point of abstracted shapes and mark making in general… more |
 |
Ginney Deavoll
Ginney has painted around 16 murals in and around Christchurch including the Sumner Surf Club. These days Ginney still paints the odd mural but mainly focuses on gallery work. She had her first exhibition in 2010, which was a great success, boosting her confidence to make painting her career. So now she spends half her time painting and half working as a guide in the outdoors. Ginney's inspiration comes from the natural world and New Zealand in particular. She finds her best work comes when she paints from life and from an experience. She will come up a design to describe an event or place then find the objects she need (shells, leaves etc) and paint them from life.... more |

During the 1970s and 1980s Grant worked as an illustrator for David
McGill's articles in The Evening Post - "Cityscapes" and later

was the late John Drawbridge who suggested that some 1964 drawings of
Wellington be published, which led to his first book of drawings, "The
Old House Town". He later encouraged Grant to mount his first ever and
highly successful exhibition at Harry Seresin's Settlement Gallery... more |

Hannah Jensen
Hannah used Resene paints throughout her studies, mixing together
various testpots to create colours to suit her style and themes.
Her creative instinct saw her design a technique that uses copious
volumes of paint, covering boards with layers of waterborne paints
encompassing sometimes fifty layers or more. Then with care
she carves intricate and beautiful designs into the surface using
a small v shaped lino cutter. The result is distinctive… more |

Helen Calder
Spending six months pouring out hundreds of litres of paint sounds
wasteful until one discovers what they have been poured onto. Helen

of Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel... more |

Jane Toy
Jane Toy follows the work of the American Abstact Expressionists and got into poured paint work (along the lines of Helen Frankenthaler) for which Resene testpots were perfect. They blend with each other so well and 'bleed' into each other in fasinating patterns that can't be recreated. Jane enjoys employing techniques where the materials are allowed to do their own thing... more |

Jarene Carroll
Jarene Carroll paints Kowhaiwhai in Maori Contemporary Art, drawing inspiration from her surroundings, books about art and the dynamics in Toimairangi School.

Jil Sergent
In a career spanning back to an innocent 2 year old, Jil Sergent
has had a long history in creating ground games. Sent outside by
her mother with house size paintbrushes and a bucket of water, Jil
created her first ground games before she had even started kindergarten.
For the past 12 years this talent has been generously shared with
Hawkes Bay children to nurture 'zest for life' and a 'respect for
life'. Ground games are created by painting Resene Super Gloss enamel
directly onto concrete using an array of bristle brushes in a myriad
of bright hues to suit the game selections... more |

Kathie Watson
Stand back and view works by Kathie Watson - her exhibition 'Answering
Hanly in a BIG way' is a pure expression of her response to him
as an artist, silent mentor and guide. While she never knew Hanly
personally, she responded to his art in a way that makes one wonder
if they had crossed paths somewhere. Clearly Watson's work shows
the influence of Hanly, with her 'poured chance' of trickles of
enamel paint... more |

many years, predominantly using Resene Testpots in a range of colours on

that instead. Kristina considers herself a refugee from the corporate
world and finds being creative much more meaningful. Painting makes her
heart sing. Kristina is inspired by animals, nature... more |

Linda Paul
Linda is a self taught artist who focuses on painting with acrylics. She has painted different types of pictures from landscapes to abstract designs and has not yet settled down in a specific style. Last year two of her adult children decided to join a local theatre group and Linda bravely volunteered to do their artwork. The painting was done on a canvas 26ft long by 6ft drop. Linda loved every minute of that challenge and it proved to be a resounding success. Linda also partially credits the result to the vibrant Resene colours she used. This work was done on canvas and is now the property of the ShoreTheatre...

Lisa Antonelli
Largely self-taught, Lisa enjoys the isolation that accompanies
the artist's lifestyle. A chronic thinker, painting brings a lovely
blank to her otherwise busy mind and allows her to paint from the
soul. A fascination with imagery and form led to a 15 year stint
as a freelance photographer. The natural progression along this
same pathway brought her to painting... more |

Lois Perry
In the words of the artist herself, Resene Enamacryl has been subjected
to, and withstood, considerable abuse in the course of new art.
Lois Perry, an up and coming Auckland artist, focused exclusively

Quick Dry acrylic primer undercoat over substrates of aluminium,
canvas and board as part of a final study year for a Master of Fine
Arts at Elam... more |

of an innovative style to draw in art lovers and to clearly differentiate
one's work. Lyn Bergquist has taken this in his stride combining

preparation with Resene Quick Dry Acrylic Primer Undercoat and the

Mark Whyte
The smattering of paint left over on an artist’s palette when an artwork is completed is usually washed away before it dries, with scant regard for the environment. But a West Auckland painter with a conscience – and a penchant for experimentation – is keeping it green. His novel way of recycling leftover paint has proved a winner and his artworks are much in demand… more |

 |
Philip Liggins
Fantasy and reality, dark and light all weave through the lustrous artworks of Philip Liggins. It’s an art form used centuries ago on icons and sacral paintings, but artist Philip Liggins uses the technique of reverse painting on glass to great effect today. Everything is the opposite to traditional painting on canvas. The signature, details and foreground work, such as trees or birds flying, are painted first. And when they’re dry, I paint the next layer, like the sky, over the dry foreground work. The art is done in layers, from the signature and foreground first, to the background last. Philip’s finished work is viewed from the front, unpainted side. The glass “serves as a support and a protective surface – almost like a varnish.” The result is a bright, clear colour since the paint is not absorbed as it would be if applied to canvas, wood or paper… more |
 |
Reg Turner
Reg Turner describes his art as “uninfluenced, undisciplined and untrained”. Reg’s artworks are painted in a unique technique that would make art puritans raise their eyebrows. He uses the repellent properties of oil and waterbased Resene house paints to create texture, movement and colour effects reflecting the land and seascapes of his surroundings. Reg applies the two different types of paint to canvas straight from the can, mixing primary colours with impunity... more |
 |
Rodney Edge
Brightly coloured with a preference for primary hues and intensely
idiosyncratic, the sharp-edged, carefully blended images explore
icons of faces, flames, frames and symbols cleverly juxtaposed into
works that seemingly create their own direction. Rodney has combined
his artistic painting with his paint retailing since his mid teens.
Not surprisingly he uses Resene paints, primarily acrylic house
paint combined with Resene Enamacryl Metallic... more |

Rohan Wealleans
Rohan Wealleans pushes the painterly expressionist tradition of
Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning to its limits and in doing
so reflects on primal and instinctive in art, making sculptural
paintings with knives and mannequin busts. His marble-like monumental
and simultaneously delicate millifiori-like works stimulate a discussion
between objects and painting, and challenges the stereotypical heroic
sculptor to a brawl on a painter’s turf… more |

Sally was a late starter in the painting stakes, and is mostly self

- nothing dull or boring here... more |

with scientific rules and the mechanics of how things work.... more |
