Featured artist
maker of paintings , textiles, illustrations and many other mediums
As a Waikato-based painter and printmaker, tutoring at the Waikato Society of Arts, my work blends experimental techniques with deep personal and environmental reflection. I explore local landscapes, architecture, derelict buildings, and found objects, using colour, texture, and sustainable materials to evoke emotion and memory. Influenced by my background in Zoology and Architectural Technology, my work often merges structural form with organic elements - capturing resilience, connection, and the courage to pursue creative freedom.
I am a computational artisan, artist, and independent researcher exploring the coexistence of computational systems, matter, craft knowledge, and territory. Through Metatiles, I develop generative and parametric systems that move beyond the screen, using pen plotters as a bridge between computational systems and ceramics. My practice explores how computational precision encounters material behaviour, allowing experimentation and transformation to open new possibilities.
I am a Wellington-based abstract artist working primarily in acrylic and mixed media. My practice explores the relationship between structure and spontaneity through layered materials, collage, colour and expressive mark-making. I work intuitively, building and obscuring layers to create depth, movement and a balance between energy and stillness.

Artist Feature 008: Lucas Cantlon. Pōneke-based photographer, producer and director, Lucas works across documentary, live production, radio, music and photography, moving between the crew and the stage often enough that the two stop being separate positions. They have a keen eye for the vernacular, and photographs that capture the feeling of a time and place. We discussed what a performance looks like from behind the camera, what humour can say that sincerity can't, and why Wellington is far from dead.

Artist Feature 009: Isabella Rose Young. Tāmaki Makaurau / Te Tai Tokerau analogue photographer and moving-image artist @isabellaroseyoung works intentionally slowly across 35mm, Super 8, darkroom printing, painting and writing. Her daughter appears throughout the work, but we never see her face. We discussed privacy, disappearing materials, and what the arts lose when visibility matters more than making.
