"Shifted Perspective, has been influenced by the natural beauty of our environment. Looking at nature with a different set of eyes, not accepting the obvious but extending the boundaries.

This exhibition of paintings has been inspired by the rock formations, that are found at the southern end of Omaha Beach, Northland, New Zealand. Flat gridded rocks that have an intricate network of patterns running through them, where the tidal ocean has carved pathways for the water.  The surfaces have geometric designs, irregular shapes
and spaces. These shallow, wet surfaces, are the inspiration for these works.   

Representing my work in an abstract  contemporary form has enabled me to be more expressive and free, making
my work appear more fluid and creating movement.   

Changing my perspective, has enabled me to see such beauty in the most simplest form."

This is Rosemary's first exhibition in a number of years and it represents a primary focus on abstractivism and the application of paint on the linen. Rosemary is a committed New Zealand abstract painter and enjoys the challenge of segmenting what she sees in the natural environment into shape, colour and form. Below are a selection of abstract paintings on display.
