Jules Kesby is a fine artist and oil painter known for her incredibly detailed and realistic wildlife art and nature painting. Jules is originally from Zimbabwe, now based in Auckland, and is especially known for her incredible oil paintings of African animals. Painting exclusively in oils, Jules is a mid-career artist and is self-taught. She paints with an almost photographic clarity combined with a painter’s understanding of glowing light, brush strokes, and atmospheric abstract backgrounds and wide landscape vistas. I have always had a fascination with the natural world. Detail is important and it gives me a view into the rhythm of nature, so that I can build a relationship with the subject and get a glimpse into their character. It takes time to get to know them which is why oil paints suit my process. The goal is to be more than merely a representation, and this takes gradual layers of paint. With a gentle coaxing, a conversation is begun, a story begins to unfold. Jules has lived in New Zealand for over 15 years. She is passionate about wildlife conservation and this love and care for nature comes through in her work. Her paintings are rated highly by national and international wildlife and nature photographers. Jules is available for commission work.

In his pop art, Christian has the unique ability to capture memory in a way that is both nostalgic and joyful. His style is at times subtle, comical, and personal, compared with other pop art that may be more cliched or appropriative. Meanwhile, his landscape paintings evoke feelings of joy and freedom, celebrating Aotearoa New Zealand's incredible surfing beaches. Speaking to his love of the great outdoors, Christian’s surfing and contemporary beach painting comes from his own experiences exploring Aotearoa’s coast lines in the North and South Islands. His abstract modern art paintings and sculptures are inspired by his childhood memories, film and music media of different decades, and festivals and famous people from the past. Christian's artwork touches the nostalgia nerve within a wide variety of ages, inviting us to remember the golden years in all their glory. I like to be creative in as many ways as possible. Whatever it is to get across my idea and explore what I am doing. I make sculptures. I do large installations in the landscape. I use photography, paint, screen printing, have a rock band, I make videos and film. This is the way I want to continue. I pride myself in doing different things. Christian has a diploma in design (Visual Communications) from Unitec in Auckland. He worked as a designer directing ads, magazines, and logos for several years before leaving that work to follow his dream and become a full-time artist. For a conceptual artwork, Christian begins with idea and composition. He then searches for hours for the type of images that will support this composition. Mostly they are a mix of images taken from online and his own drawings. He then uses a coarse screen (like the old fashioned newspaper screen of 60 dots per inch) to transpose the image over his painting technique. This process is reminiscent of comic book artworks from the 60's and 70's. Actual painting starts in the beginning and is applied throughout the entire process. The final piece of pop art contains layers upon layers of painting, design, and screen printing, often with some oil pastel stick as the final layer. Christian continues to be remembered for some of his more daring artistic endeavours. This includes his “Toetoe” installation series placed in several iconic Auckland locations, including in Auckland City Harbour (with the tide coming in!). Today, alongside his contemporary art followers, collectors, and investors, Christian has a small fanbase as a result of his feature film, This Papier Mache Boulder is Actually Really Heavy (2016), for which he won a number of international film festival awards. Christian has been represented by Art by the Sea Gallery since 2006. He is a prolific artist and has had many, highly successful exhibitions in our gallery. He has also appeared in public exhibitions and sculpture symposiums across the country. Christian has produced art on commission and continues to be available for such work. His work is held in many private collections, including the Wallace Trust which has over 40 of his pieces. Art for me is a passion. Sometimes pure instinct, sometimes quite structured, but usually it’s a fairly organic process. It makes me feel good to express myself. And it’s great to be able to share that with others. Thank you for the love. See inside Christian's studio >

However, the thrill of bringing it all together on a canvas can be nearly as exciting as having been there. Alan Sanders is NZ artist and oil painter specialising in ocean art paintings, seascapes, and sailing ship art. His large oil paintings of ships at sea feature traditional sailing windjammers are highly detailed and evoke the atmosphere and adventure of another era, while his racing and classic yachts capture the joy and excitement of water sports today. Alan is especially interested in the stories behind the vessels he paints. His large clipper ships, in particular, remind us of the significance of the sailing vessel as an essential part of New Zealand’s and Australia’s early history. These ships carry the stories of officers and sailors who braved the elements to bring pioneering men, women, and children to a new life in the Antipodes—“stories of courage, hardship and seamanship.” The ships that came to New Zealand and Australia had appropriate names like: Marlborough, Waimate, Waitangi, Invercargill, Waikato, and are an important part of the New Zealand story. Alan has been inspired by watercolourist J. Spurling, who illustrated a number of books on clipper ships written by Basil Lubbock. These great illustrations capture the many ships that plied the waters between the UK, New Zealand and Australia with wonderful stories that tell their histories and final fates. Nearly all of Spurling's original illustrations were lost during the blitz of London in World War 2, but Alan has used some of the smaller illustrations as a starting point for his large oil paintings. I have painted them in a much looser and atmospheric style, with my own interpretation of the sea and skies, to appeal to a more contemporary market. Currently based in Auckland, Alan's former career was in the graphic design and advertising industry. He is a life member of the Designers Institute of New Zealand (DINZ) and a founding committee member of the 'Best' Graphic Design Awards. Alan retired from the design industry and is now able to concentrate on his main love of nautical canvas art.
- Julia Lochhead Seascapes Fine Art Photography | Art by the Sea, Art Gallery Takapuna

Julia's movement photographs of the ocean have an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, inviting us to pause and take a breath in our busy day. Find fine art photography, sea art, and photographic art prints for sale NZ at Art by the Sea Gallery, Takapuna. Julia Lochhead Ocean Art Photographer This is my home away from home. This is where I find my calm. Julia Lochhead is a New Zealand ocean art photographer based in Mount Maunganui. Her passion is capturing images with a sense of movement and tranquility, grounding us in the natural world and offering space to breathe in the hustle and bustle of the everyday. More > Let the Light in Price $3,200.00 Reset Out of stock Changing Tides 2 Price $1,300.00 Rest Price $1,800.00 Changing Tides 3 Out of stock Bio These fine art prints are more than mere images; they are windows to a world where time moves at a gentle pace, allowing you to immerse yourself in the art of self-care. Julia Lochhead is a fine art photographer from Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. Her soft, long exposure seascapes evoke feelings of tranquility and peace, offering a quiet sanctuary from the chaos of the world today. At the same time, the familiar NZ beach art and coastal photos ground us in nature, reminding us that there is more to the world than just ourselves. My work blurs the line between painting and photography by using varying lengths of exposure and natural movement of the ocean. I capture not only a moment in time but also create that feeling that brings you back to your senses, back to your breath, and back to you. Julia grew up in rural New Zealand and developed a strong connection to nature and, especially, the ocean. Long summer holidays were spent by the beach and the water became her “soulful place.” She fell in love with photographic art, especially that concerned with creating movement, while attending a course at the London School of Photography. I began learning to capture what it was that I was feeling and with this, photography became the way I saw the world. After eight years, Julia came back home to further progress her passion by completing a 2-year diploma in Photographic Imaging. This formed a solid foundation for her to refine and evolve her techniques in fine art photography. She has had successful exhibitions at a local gallery in Mount Maunganui and has appeared in exhibitions at Art by the Sea, where many of her works are sold.

We look forward to welcoming you into our gallery. Linda and Mike Geers Our Story Art by the Sea was established in 1991 in the historic Duders building on the waterfront of the seaside suburb, Devonport to showcase New Zealand art and contemporary NZ artists. We would like to acknowledge the hard mahi of Bronwyn Davies who ran the Devonport art gallery for its first ten years in business and established its integral connection with the Devonport community. The current owners, Mike and Linda Geers, purchased the business in 2001 and built it up to the reputable Auckland art gallery it is today. Following the move to Takapuna in 2021, Art by the Sea has established strong ties to the Takapuna and Milford communities. We are honoured by the support and welcome we have received. We could (and may!) write a book with the stories that have travelled through or begun at Art by the Sea. There have been floods (in 2001 and during the infamous Auckland Floods 2023). There was the drunk driver who crashed their car through the front window. There have been practical jokes, such as the time we placed a giant sandstone kina on the beach by the ferry on April Fools’ Day, or a few years later when we precariously climbed the Edwards Parade clock tower to balance presents on top at Christmas. And there have been incredible community events—charity fundraisers for Amnesty International, War Child, the Key to Life Trust. On these nights, the gallery came alive as we witnessed poets and artists joining together in creative expression about human rights, children affected by war and conflict, and mental health awareness. The stories will continue...

He paints intuitively, rarely using preparatory sketches but instead allowing the work to take shape organically. A key focus for Carl is achieving balance in line, tone, colour, and overall composition. The incredibly precise lines and 3-dimensional shapes in Carl’s abstract fine art comes from his industry background in sign writing with a specialty in pin-striping for Hot Rods—a trade he learnt from his father. His artistic influences include cubists and impressionists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Wes Freed, Wifredo Lam, and Jean Michel Basquiat. Carl’s passion is the outdoors and interpreting the many varied people and experiences that colour his life. Some of his landscape scenes and NZ beach art have been painted en plein air in and around the west coast beaches of Auckland. Each of Carl’s geometric modern art paintings is meticulously and painstakingly hand-painted and then sealed with a final protective varnish. Symbols and intersecting planes suggest a way into deciphering his paintings, but the real beauty lies in discovering something new every time you look them.
