She has a strong affinity with the flora and fauna of Aotearoa, the beauty of our land and the wildlife that it shares. A natural dreamer, her work is influenced by emotion and intuition, and she allows that to guide her hands and speak in her prints. Kate's linocut relief prints are made by pulling designs from her pencil sketches and cutting them into lino blocks with small chisels. The work is then hand-burnished on to quality acid-free paper using light-fast inks. Due to the hand-made nature of the linocut printing process the prints have very slight variations, making each piece one of a kind.

Her landscapes, skyscapes, and urban scenes capture passing moments that have struck her while out travelling or hiking—a small red barn in a hay field, a complex cloud formation, bright red tomatoes spilling out of a wooden crate, a perfectly still and reflective lake. Landscapes have continually changing aspects and I enjoy working with the fluid motion this engenders. The sky plays an important role in the landscapes I paint, its vastness and expressiveness is a constant source of inspiration. Holly began painting at an early age and attended several years of portrait painting workshops and untutored still life painting sessions. She works mainly in strongly pigmented oils, enjoying the depth of colour, vibrancy, and texture offered by this medium. Her work has been further enhanced by attending courses at an Atelier in Edinburgh where she refined her skills in classical and traditional realistic oil painting and returned to New Zealand with a stunning selection of paintings of Europe. My main inspirations for painting are light, colour and atmosphere. I aim to use these elements as a means of creating an integral connection with the subject. Growing up in New Zealand surrounded by natural beauty, has inspired in Holly a passion for expressing sky and light on the canvas. The sky takes on a special significance and its vast and ever-changing nature is an inspiring subject matter for Holly’s work. New Zealand landscapes continue to influence her alongside the Scottish and European historical architecture and scenery that has brought to light new creative possibilities. Whether the moody atmosphere of a misty sound, or a Parisian windowsill with fluttering gauze curtain, Holly’s paintings open a door into a different time and place, one that may speak to us in its familiarity, or offer an imaginative escape.

His style is diverse, ranging from early metal collages of boats and sailing life to classic plein-air paintings of NZ to modern downtown city scenes. More recently, Graham has enjoyed painting beautiful and wildly colourful flower gardens, often with a white villa stark against the sky in the background. I have the whole world in my garden, a place for reflecting on life and nature. Graham has been carrying his paint box around since he was about eight years old. He paints in both oil and acrylic, depending on the artwork. In his early quirky conceptual collages, he was known to upcycle metal and found objects. New Zealand art critic, T. J. McNamara, has described Graham's NZ landscape art as "filled with light and full of charm and joy in water, clouds and sky.” I have had a lifetime of conceptual art, but I find that now I have returned to the beginning. My paintings are a synthesis of sketchbook drawings and memory, expressing the visual poetry that resonates within the bounds of my past and present. To express that tranquillity in my own language and to acknowledge how beauty can be in the common world around us and let my paintings be a refuge from the everyday tribulations, and to celebrate nature is my raison d’etre. Starting his career as an advertising art director and illustrator, Graham worked for many international agencies. He won many awards in this role, working on iconic NZ brands like Air NZ, Edmonds, Hubbard cereals, Cuisine Magazine, Belly-Gully, and more. Up until his retirement, painting was Graham’s escape from the commercial world. Now, he is able to devote more time to his passion.

He is married to Sherie Kemp and they have three sons. He was born in Ōtautahi Christchurch and moved to the Bay of Plenty when he was two. His iwi (tribal connections) are Ngāi Tahu, Ngāpuhi, and Te Arawa (Ngāti Mākino). Every time I start carving an old bit of wood I am always reminded of the tree it once was, and how it lived for centuries before it became the piece of wood I'm carving. As l start carving more into the piece I get a sense l am being directed with my chisels from the grains and natural flows of the wood. As the pieces evolve into form, I feel like they are old ancient relics from another time and l get to take the layer of overgrowth from them to reveal an old life force that once lived in Te Waonui O Tanemahuta (our ancient forest). A time forgotten . . . Joe is self-taught and works primarily in wood as his chosen medium. He enjoys the “secrets and surprises” that New Zealand native trees have within them. Joe’s standing and wall sculptures (NZ), or wall masks, depict human forms and faces emerging out of the wood. He has said that he feels the human form connects him with his ancestral history, bringing new meaning and purpose to the finished work. I sense a connection with Tane Mahuta (the life force of the tree) as I'm working with the wood, so it is quite a special feeling. I also carve a variety of stone, where again there is a connection with Papatuanuku (Earth Mother). I look to bring out the Wairua (essence) in each piece, starting from where the material originated and using any special features and grains in the stone and wood. Joe has over 20 years’ experience as a sculptor. He has participated in sculpture symposiums around the country, most notably at the Lake House Wood Sculpture Live symposium where he won first prize in 2012 and 2013. His work has evolved into the style and form we see today, drawing together traditional Māori carving with contemporary styles and cross-cultural influences (as we see in the Viking-like helmets on some pieces), allowing him to form his own, unique brand of contemporary Māori art. Joe's Māori wood carving is strong in wairua (spirit). They have a presence. We feel they protect our gallery space and offer something to our local community - we often speak with customers who tell us they believe the sculptures drew them into our store. [Today], I have a deeper understanding and respect for my work and the mediums I use which helps me connect to the wairua within. My work depicts new beginnings in a new world, with presence of Kaitiakitanga (Guardianship), Amorangi (Leadership), Mana (prestige, self-worth), kaha (strength), hope, and purpose.

Her fine art photography captures pockets of beauty in the everyday world: the texture of nīkau berries falling like beads down a trunk; bright citrine hibiscus flowers in a bed of blue/green leaves; or jewelled water pooling in coloured patches over a mossy forest floor. I have always been a visual creature, drawn to beautiful colour palettes and the awe-inspiring compositions created by mother nature and by artisans alike. Natalie worked for many years in a demanding career while also raising a young family. Then, in 2012, her husband Guy bought her a camera for Christmas. “I love seeing the world through your eyes,” he said, and immediately everything changed for her. From that day, she had a tool to capture and construct a world view that she hadn’t realised existed. It ignited a wellspring of self-expression, and a love affair with nature. I’m drawn to the untamed and unrelenting beauty served up by nature every day for everyone who chooses to pause long enough to connect with it. Natalie’s photographic art has been described as “a celebration of the often overlooked” but she likes to think of it like a trail of breadcrumbs, leading us back to treasure that which we have long since forgotten to see, to acknowledge, or to pay tribute to. As a botanical photographer, Natalie captures the texture as well as the vivid beauty of the flower. Each piece of her work is a microcosm of nature’s wonder: a vignette of the majesty that exists under our very noses... just waiting for us to claim it. Her art is also a subtle statement in activism. By composing and presenting each ‘unremarkable’ serving of nature, I hope to elevate the reverence and respect that our beautiful world deserves… Art is cheap, but nature is priceless. As Natalie has explained, photographing nature is a mirror for her; it is a truth and a vehicle to process, recall, and reframe the beliefs and experiences that shape her life. A camera her constant companion, Natalie is inspired by art's capacity to soothe the soul, and to change the way we see the world.

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.

These garden sculptures NZ are sturdy and highly unique, each piece individually hand-crafted and made to age well in the elements. What began as a hobby turned into a business in the year 2000 when the artists were asked to make a life-size pregnant cow out of corrugated iron. This sculpture launched a metal art New Zealand business and the name “Rustic Twist” evolved out of that. While the lamb, medium sheep, and angora metal goat are the most popular, Art by the Sea has also hosted several life-size metal lamas, wild boars, the occasional peacock, and a giant cactus. We have also transported a life-size Friesian cow to Southland, and hosted a one-off flock of sheep art installation piece for the Milford Centre Sculpture Trail (2020) in support of the Key to Life Trust. All of Rustic Twist animals are made from recycled metal on a steel frame. The large animals, like the sheep and goats, are handmade from recycled corrugated iron roofing. Some of the smaller bird sculptures are made using repurposed sawblades or pieces cut out of old copper hot water cylinders and then assembled by hand. All sculptures are made to order, so please contact us at least three weeks in advance of the date the artwork is required. We regularly arrange international shipping for these pieces; please contact us for a quote.
