Paul Herbert
 ' Skink and Nikau palms ' SOLD
| Paul's paintings have a strong graphic design influence in the use of shapes, bright colours, eye to detail, 3D forms, photo realism - all developed through graphic design skills learnt over his lifetime.
Paul has formulated a style heavily influenced by his skills as a graphic designer plus his fascination of nature’s wilderness and wildlife... so called “jumbled randomness” of shapes and colours. Paul reinterpreted these into an ordered imposition and repetition in his painting’s structure. Repetition of the Nikau palm allows for this segmentation of the painting which reinforces his style of “ordered randomness”. |

Jette Jespersen
'I grew up in Denmark and have lived in New Zealand since 1988. I moved to Raglan in 1996 and love living, surfing and creating art in this place I now call home.
My work is generally reflections on my own experience of grappling with life....
I prefer to work intuitively, starting out with an idea but allowing the painting to lead me to where it wants to go'.
