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.

Similar to dot painting or pointillism, Tallulah’s multi-layered mark making art presents imaginative gardens and vibrant spaces, showing us new details every time we look at them. Gazing at one painting, we might find purple seedpods, cherry blossom trees, NZ harakeke (flax), rising sunflowers, or a Van Gogh-like starry night. Another might show us floating icebergs and circling moons, while yet another offers a coconut tree before a rioting desert horizon. This is New Zealand landscape art that defies landscape conventions. I would describe my working style as expressionist maximalism/surrealism. I create work that is extravagantly detailed, inclusive, eclectic and often unashamedly beautiful. In the moment of painting, Tallulah is dedicated to her craft. Her work is intuitive and spontaneous, each piece growing from one corner to spread across the canvas or board. Inspiration comes from her own experiences, news gathered during her walks, and snippets from everyday life. Tallulah rarely involves reference images; instead, she transposes the psychological complexity of her interior world into lush and layered compositions. Her paintings might tell us something about the human condition, or about our place in the madness of contemporary life. I’m interested in movement and rhythm. I want to create works that vibrate. I set about doing this by juxtaposing unlikely colours, and the repetitive use of patterns and marks. I embrace the pleasure of process for its own sake, inviting the viewer to engage with the mark-making and to follow the myriad paths into the work to discover their own interpretation of how and what they see. There is a strongly recognisable yet ever-transient voice in Tallulah’s abstract landscape art. Natural motifs and patterned elements recur throughout: snake-like trees, floating moons, distorted reflections in bodies of water, and stippled night skies. Abstract and representational impulses co-exist in unorthodox harmony. There is a nuanced vulnerability to her work, an emotional charge or sensitivity, and intricate detail that is at once controlled, expressive, and experimental. I need to create intently, slowly and methodically. But also randomly, unplanned and irrationally. It’s as though several parts of me take turns creating, each part taking control when needed. To be loose and free, rigid and meticulous, considered and analysing or playful and experimental. Tallulah’s expressive art paintings of NZ are held in a number of private collections. She has been a finalist in the prestigious Parkin Drawing Award, the Miles Art Award, the Tasman Art Award, and the Cleveland Art Award.

Michelle’s stunning photographic art evidences her passionate connection with Papatūānuku (Mother Earth), and the inherent beauty she finds in the small things.

A finalist in NZ’s Geographic Photographer of the Year Award (2017), Michelle’s professionalism and mastery of the camera and lens provide viewers with a different perspective of New Zealand's unique landscapes. Her NZ photography makes us want to visit the areas and soak in the atmosphere and experience the feelings that she has captured through the camera's lens.

More > New 2026 Living Interior Price $5,000.00 Retro Interior - Dunedin Price $5,800.00 Tropical Interior Out of stock Bio Raymond Jennings is a New Zealand artist currently based in Hamilton. His colourful paintings of NZ house interiors offer us glimpses into New Zealand home and bach lifestyles with native bird life and NZ landscape scenes often appearing through the windows. His still life painting (or "shelf life") suggests warmly nostalgic domestic scenes. My paintings and drawings are a positive expression of our world in form and colour, motion and character, radiance, and depth, with the energies of universal inspiration. Raymond’s contemporary oil painting carries a dynamic energy. His virtuoso colour arrangements, light and dark contrast, and strong sense of form and movement combine to offer inviting and lively house interiors. In his work, there is adept attention to spatial dynamics and dimensions coupled with a sense of stylised homeliness. Each room is laid out to draw us in – indeed, we feel as if we could almost step into them. Born in New Zealand, Raymond has been an artist most of his life. He began painting and exhibiting at the age of twelve. Two years later, his work featured in a nationwide Society of Arts touring exhibition. He also painted a 20m mural inside Kamo High School library, Whangārei, and became a working member of the Northland Society of Arts at the age of fourteen. Raymond studied at Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University, graduating in 1975. A theatrical childhood, with both parents acting and producing plays, my father also being an eccentric physics teacher, and a family friend being a prominent architect, all introduced me to creative expression. Then, being introduced to oil painting on canvas at age twelve, with exhibitions and sales of work soon after confirmed my direction as an artist. Raymond has exhibited in solo and group shows in New Zealand, the USA, and Singapore. He has been a finalist and prize winner in New Zealand arts competitions since 1977, including the Parklane Art Award and Auction (Auckland Museum), the James Wallace Art Awards (Auckland), the Duxton Art Awards (Wellington), the Molly Morpeth Canday Art Awards (Whakatāne), and the Waitakere Trust Art Awards (Auckland). He was a Parkin Drawing Award finalist in 2024 with his pen and ink drawing, Christo’s New York Studio – 1985. Raymond has completed many commissions for private and corporate clients and continues to be available for this work.

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).

Craig’s NZ bird art and his large wildlife landscapes are inspired less by photographs and more by observation and research. Influenced by his background in graphic design, Craig looks for colour and detail in his subjects, while also noting down unique subtleties in their behaviour. I have observed tūī in their natural environment for years. It’s their personality, they almost have an arrogance about them as if they know they have adjusted better than most other native birds to the urban environment. Travelling to remote locations around New Zealand, Craig will sit and study his subjects for hours. It is here, without distraction, that Craig gains insight into certain bird habits and their particular or unusual postures. Māori mythology and New Zealand history have also been influential in Craig’s NZ art, as he shares his learning about the role of our native birds in founding stories and in the sophisticated structure of Māori beliefs and customs. While he observes bird interaction in their natural habitats, Craig is also interested in the way birds engage with man-made objects in urban environments. This shed at Stanley Point wharf, Devonport is the most amazing colour, and the lighting effects the colour generates are beautiful. When the lighting is right on a clear, still day, the angles of the tin create rich dark and light hues of the base colour... I started reading the signage one day as I admired the lettering skills of a profession I was once involved in. The beautiful brush control on the serif font is a skill long-forgotten, and the aging of the sign and the rust creeping into the fixtures adds to the time and history of the shed. Also, the message the sign portrays—the choice of wording goes back to a time when certain language was acceptable… I wonder what the colour of the shed was back then. The modern sign has almost been produced to clash with maximum impact. So what is so dangerous that you can’t dive from this shed? …I have used two species of birds to almost thumb their noses at the authority behind the signage… The terns’ balletic skills, skimming the surface of the bay, and their precise diving skills are a majestic sight. The Kingfishers, ever vigilant, notice any movement in the tidal zone. They pounce on any unsuspecting crustacean moving from cover… Craig’s painting process always begins with sketching and a colour study, to see if all the elements he has in mind will work together. The blocking in of the composition begins with broad brush strokes to fill the canvas and create a base for the painting. The vision is then built up using finer and finer brushes to achieve high detail. By the end of the painting, Craig will be using a tiny brush (almost a pencil) to note fine detail on a blade of grass or the glint in a bird’s eye. Craig developed his understanding of colour and his skills in realism, precision, and detail during his 25-year career in graphic design, where he specialised in illustration and packaging. his passion for birds began at a much younger age when he raised and rescued nestlings; sparrows that had fallen from a nest, blackbirds, thrushes, and many other species spent time in his parents’ hot water cupboard. He moved on to raise and breed budgies for many years and began to draw birds as a child. Craig’s strong interest in New Zealand’s great outdoor spaces grew through his love of surfing, which took him all over the country. Today, his travelling and his love of birds are expressed through his art. Craig Platt has regular exhibitions at Art by the Sea Gallery. His work, particularly his tui painting, is held in private collections across the country.

Rosemary’s fine art background in still life and figure drawing coupled with her passion for horse riding has translated into a very contemporary version of the horse. While she has painted equestrian horses, Rosemary has a particular interest in the discipline of dressage. What I have always wanted to express in this imagery is the definition of the weight and mass of the horse, as well as the power and elegance in articulation. This is so clearly seen in dressage, itself an art form based on both physical and visual aesthetics. Dressage enhances the way a horse moves naturally, and at its best shows full harmony between horse and rider; horse and rider become a single entity. My intention is that my paintings should celebrate the athleticism and eloquence of this discipline, which demands a monumental approach, with simplicity and scale. Rosemary’s horse painting demonstrates her attention to structural detail and composition. At the same time, she is adept at translating the movement of the horse, especially in those paintings putting greater emphasis on the choreography of dressage. …the point is to catch the intrinsic quality of the movement… not always technically correct, and mostly not evident in photo records ...which is why it is better to watch and draw, better to remember and construct, rather than to copy minutely from photos, because this best expresses the way the horse actually goes. Rosemary deliberately paints little of the riders to ensure that the focus is on the horse. As she says herself, “…if the rider is very capable s/he becomes invisible, and the horse appears to go miraculously of its own volition without evident direction, and really the rider is identifiable by their hands and seat alone, their position… it is then possible to imagine the rider to be anyone, even one's own self.” Graduating with a degree from the University of Auckland’s Ilam Art School, Rosemary has painted and exhibited regularly since 1975. She has taught Art and Art History in secondary schools in Dunedin, Gisborne, Auckland, and Melbourne in Australia. Her paintings are in private collections across the country.

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.

Bio David Jones is an experienced New Zealand portrait artist originally from Wellington. He works on commission and has completed private portraits for a number of notable New Zealanders. While oil portraiture is the main avenue for his art, David also occasionally presents highly detailed still life painting for sale at Art by the Sea. In these paintings, David chooses simple, often unnoticed, items from everyday life. David is a self-taught oil painter and draughtsman. In his approach to fine art portrait painting, he views the whole picture first as a construction of abstract qualities—colour, shape, tone—on the picture plane in order to communicate an overall sense, rather than to focus on a single subject or object. He uses representation to draw the viewer into the poetic world of the painting. In creating this believable world, he encourages us to look beyond the objective, towards the subjective inner workings of the mind. David has spent much of his time studying traditional painting, from the renaissance to the early 20th century, and this knowledge underpins his work. He has worked as a painting and drawing tutor, and he has work in the Wallace Art Collection. He has been selected to exhibit in the Adam Portrait Awards three times and has been a finalist twice, including with his Portrait of Esther Deans. Pictured left is his self-portrait.
