One of the great things about clay is that there never seems to be an end to what you can do with it. As someone who likes to muck around with lots of ideas, clay has been the perfect partner in crime. I really do feel I have only just started. Brendan Adams is a pottery artist and ceramic designer who has amassed a large following of clientele drawn to his creative and highly innovative sculpture and ceramic wall art (NZ). He is known for his brightly coloured slipcast ceramics, originally using Crown Lynn clay. More recently, his contemporary abstract and figurative designs have seen him include other materials such as steel, brass, aluminium, and wood. While many of his pieces are decorative, some also serve a function, as we see in his ceramic art bird feeders, candle holders, smartphone speakers, and working radios. Brendan has been making a living from clay since 1987. He and his wife Kathryn set up a ceramic shop selling affordable original art in Kingsland, which they ran for ten years. In 2013, they opened Front Room Gallery where they exhibited their own work and featured other New Zealand potters. Together, they now run Brendan Adams Designs from their home studio in Auckland. Brendan has a diploma in Fine Arts from Otago Polytechnic, where he majored in painting. He has taught at Auckland's Unitec and the Auckland Studio Potter Society (Auckland Potters). His work has been exhibited throughout the country in major competitions and exhibitions where he has won several awards, and is represented in the Auckland Museum, James Wallace Trust, and regional collections. Brendan’s domestic ware is well recognised for its pacific colours, easy kiwi attitude, and inventiveness. See inside Brendan's studio >

Find affordable original art, wood carvers NZ, and contemporary NZ artists at Art by the Sea Gallery, Takapuna. René Baxalle Master Wood Turner René Baxalle is a fine art woodturner from Auckland. He is known for his intricately woven wood inlays, beautifully smooth wooden bowls nz and vessels, and the use of overlapping wood joinings in place of glue or synthetics.

René Baxalle came to fine art woodturning when he was given a lathe in 2001. Previously, he had associated woodturning exclusively with furniture—banister, table legs. After joining a local woodturners club, he discovered the creative potential of the lathe. Early on, he started experimenting with woven wood inlays, liking the intricacy of weaving and the way each strand blends and connects with others to become one. To him, each strand can represent an experience in someone’s life, and the resulting woven form is the person’s mind or soul. René grew up on a farm in the southwest of France, in an area called Dordogne. He moved to New Zealand in 1991. He found the transition liberating, moving from a country steeped in tradition to a newer, younger country, more willing to embrace innovation and creativity. I didn’t choose woodwork as a career but instead opted for the electrical trade. This might be the reason I so love working with wood now. René describes staying at home to look after their two children as a turning point in his life. As he explains, spending time with young children can be a rich experience, a chance to see the world through different eyes. René does not use synthetic material and will not use glue if he can avoid it because, as he says, he want the different parts which form a piece to want to be together, not be forced. Another design he likes involves overlapping pieces of wood like the cladding of wooden houses or the sides of wooden clinker boats. This style, found in his waka huia (Māori war canoe), is similar to wood weaving, with all parts supporting each other to become one. René belongs to woodturning Auckland clubs and wood working nz societies. His work is held in private collections across New Zealand. He is available for commissions, including to create stands for other artworks (as in the example pictured).

He is continually developing his work through experimentation. One of his primary passions is conceptual art with most of his free time spent on his often bizarre figurative pencil works. Luke is influenced by traditional artists like Nicolai Fechin, John Singer Sargent, Thomas Whilmer Dewing, as well as contemporary artists such as Richard Schmidt, Zhaoming Wu, Morgan Weistling, and Ron Hicks, to name a few. His line work has received high acclamation by fellow contemporary artists and is a strong foundation for his detailed oil pieces. A self-taught artist, Luke has been painting professionally since 2004. He is known throughout the country, having begun his painting career in the Bay of Plenty followed by sell-out shows in Whakatane and Tauranga in the early 2000s. Viewed as one of New Zealand's leading young emerging artists, he was awarded runner-up in the Molly Morpeth Canaday art awards in 2004, followed by First Equal in the same awards in 2005 where he was also honoured as the winner of the People’s Choice Award. Luke has received notable acclaim from art critics and the art community alike. His oil portraits and NZ landscape paintings are held in private collections both nationally and internationally.

Alysn Midgelow-Marsden Mixed Media Textile Artist Alysn Midgelow-Marsden is a textile and mixed media contemporary artist from Auckland, New Zealand. Alysn creates intricate found object sculpture and wall sculptures (NZ) using materials that include (but are not limited to) stitched or crocheted wire, metal, gesso, verdigris, canvas, and gilded textiles. More > The Past in the Present Price $945.00 Fractured Flow Price $3,385.00 An Eerie Silence Price $945.00 As Simply as Breathing Price $1,235.00 Volume Without End Price $3,000.00 The Sun, the Moon, and the Hairclips Price $1,980.00 Gravitational Lensing Price $945.00 Bio There is a contemplative narrative formed through the patterns and figures in my works, along with the working of a mostly unconscious human ancestral memory swaying in the tides of unseen forces. Alysn Midgelow-Marsden is a contemporary fine artist from Auckland with a northern European heritage. Her sculptures (tabletop and wall-mounted) are intricate mixed-media combinations of textiles, metal or found plastics, gilding, canvas, gesso, verdigris, and stitching. Alysn’s work is inspired by her curiosity with the human psyche. She is driven by her background in science, her continuing interest in the natural environment, and her attention to the social stereotypes associated with textiles and stitching. She combines her environmental interests with a fascination for the traditions of different cultures and times, finding connections in shared human experience. My practice delivers an invitation to create pleasurably intimate connections to personal experiences through subconscious, visceral, and emotive interactions. Marked visually by a complex, lyrical fluidity, the sculptural works articulate connections, responses, fragility, and strength. Alysn’s complex mixed media textile art presents forms and figures whose meaning are largely open to the viewer’s interpretation. Themes emerge slowly in her gentle yet obsessive mazes of stitching or crochet as she exploits the boundaries of the surfaces and creates subtle combinations of colour and material. Alysn has received awards for her work at national and international exhibitions, including the Mandurah Wearable Art show in Australia (for a work entitled ‘What Lies Beneath’); the Wall Brooches II exhibition in Australia (for ‘Taniwha’); and Nelson’s Changing Threads show in New Zealand (for “The Spaces Between VII”).

She is a wood carver and a sculptor working with stone carving, steel, corten steel, and cast bronze (NZ). She does her own welding for her faceted steel artwork and outdoor garden sculptures (NZ). Originally from Taranaki, Anna is now based in Benin in Africa but returns regularly to create her New Zealand sculptures. Anna has a BFA in sculpture from the University of Canterbury. In her sculptures, she works with themes of the female form in relation to strength and fragility, balance, identity, and symmetry. Her more abstract and minimalised forms conceal complex ideas about feminine roles and the projection of the inner self through the outer form. Anna’s works are autobiographical, using the female figure to communicate her experiences. Of her 2023 exhibition, she said: This exhibition explores the two sides of my reality from the static works portraying myself in the present form conjuring hard, but delicate lines to the light hearted, tender works which refer to memories and dream states produced from a distortion of reality and transient, personal thoughts that revisit the playful mischief and mystery of childhood. Anna is a regular participant in sculpture symposia and sculpture park exhibitions both locally and abroad. Anna has participated in (and won prizes in) international symposia in Qatar, Montenegro, Cyprus, Australia, Denmark, Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Korea, and Costa Rica, among others. Many of her symposium pieces have been installed as public art sculptures following the event. In New Zealand, Anna was awarded first prize for her work at sculpture symposia in Rotorua (2014), Whangarei (2012), and the Coromandel (2008). She has been exhibited on multiple occasions at Sculpture Onshore (Devonport), Sculpture on the Peninsula (Banks Peninsula), Art in a Garden (Canterbury), and Shapeshifter at the Dowse (Lower Hutt). She has twice been a finalist in the prestigious Wallace Art Awards (2016 and 2018). Anna was a trustee on the board of Eco Artists New Zealand, a charitable trust that uses funds from the sales of art to help environmental projects, specifically focusing on native New Zealand species and their ecosystems. On her views about the relationship between humans and environments, Anna said: …the figure represents myself in varying states of tension and emotion but the new elements are recognising the structure, the strength, and with that the weakness of the communities we are connected to. Anna has completed many commissions of indoor and outdoor sculpture and is available for more.

He works in cast bronze and hand-crafted ceramic, and has taught many classes and workshops on these mediums. I have been enthralled in the act of creation for many years now . . . [My bronze sculptures] have a textural quality that is so much a part of working with cast metals, and they show the physicality that is required to produce a finished work . . . they challenge the viewer to look, contemplate, and bring their own aesthetic sense of form and texture to the work. Bill’s earlier weird and wonderful bronze sculptures featured chevron shapes in many forms, interactive wall pieces with travelling marbles, and alien or underwater imaginary creatures with spines and pods. Today, his New Zealand contemporary art vessels and wall plaques depict NZ sea- and landscapes with diving gannets, soaring tui, and swimming hammerhead sharks. His large bronze tabletop art ocean scenes with historic sailing ships and waka have appeared in exhibitions and prompted several commissions. Some of Bill’s commissions include: a giant “Pelagic Chevron” public sculpture at the corner of Tangihua Street and Quay Street in Auckland City; a large, bronze interpretation of Captain Cook’s sextant; a bronze entranceway for the Wairakia Golf Course; a copper and ceramic fountain for the entrance to the Lake House Art Centre; bronze plaques for the Sir Edmund Hillary Ice Axe memorabilia case; and a sculpture of renowned art benefactor Lady Becroft’s hands.
