New Zealand artist Bec Robertson uses different media to create a distinctive and contemporary feel to her portfolio.  Her tightly drawn ink work contains so much visual information that you will discover something new each time you gaze upon it. Bec grew up in the Hawkes Bay and the Wairarapa before leaving for overseas, she lived in London, Singapore and even in the rainforest of Cairns. Here Bec lived for several years with no electricity, surrounded by Australian wildlife – the perfect creative space to observe and draw / paint.

 

“I explore creative ideas and try to find a point of difference. My most recent works heavily feature New Zealand flora and fauna. I am passionate about the ecology of our endemic species.  I find myself talking to Tui as I walk my children to school in the morning, and it’s these observations which I try to capture in my studio.  Each new work can take many weeks to create, it is a process with many technical steps.  I love the diversification; I can find myself using a delicate ink pen one day and an orbital sander the next."

​

Represented by several New Zealand Galleries, Bec has works in collections across NZ, Australia, USA, United Kingdom, The Cayman Islands and Scandinavia.

 

Bec lives in Orakei, with her husband, two children and ‘Ziggy’ a gorgeous schnauzer.
