My creative pathway turned to photography in 2012 when I picked up my first camera at university. My photography has taken me on a creative journey. It has been a journey that has taken me on many adventures to wonderful places. In recent years, my artwork has evolved into digital creativity. I feel fortunate that I can create my artwork and share how I see the landscape with you

Photographer Amanda King’s striking prints are inspired by the subjects she encounters in the paddocks of her Hororata farm. Never work with children or animals, goes the old saying. But I have always laughed at those rules, starting out as a family photographer and, for the last four years, snapping enormous Angus bulls, bison and sheep just to name a few. Her photographic work now ranges from animals, botanicals, seascapes, landscapes, and lifestyle assignments for select clients to personal projects developed in nature to create my limited edition print collections.

My love for pattern recognition and original art has brought me full circle back into the designer stage. Original art is my passion, but so is photography, ceramics, sculpture, computer science and design.

I believe in the magical power of colours. How it can affect our senses & emotions not only physically but mentally. It has a healing power that works within the inhabited city and space we live in.

Whether exploring the abundant isolation of the forest or documenting the grinding gears of industry, embedding herself within a lively community or creating intimate personal portraits; Jacki’s images are about connection. Connecting with others, understanding our impact on the earth, and bridging differences to celebrate what unifies us.

Dunedin piano teacher, Jane Trotter came to photography when looking for an alternative creative challenge to complement her busy teaching practice and music compositions. Short on time, and practical by nature, she decided to focus on creating photographs of the everyday items around her home.

Kyla K is an illustrator based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Visual storytelling through quirky illustration, murals and hand painted art are what defines the KK vibe. 'Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire' is the mantra of KK, who creates work that brings joy, radiance & authenticity to her clients. Inspired by nature, outdoor pursuits and rad people, she intends to spread joy with every project.

Lucy likes to experiment & push the boundaries of traditional photography & art and combines many photographic elements just like a painter uses a paintbrush in order to illustrate her visions.

I carry a bit of Brazil, Portugal, Japan and New Zealand in my heart and influences from those places and cultures are continuously shaping my identity and ultimately inform my work. Becoming an artist was not a straightforward path. Over the years I became an architect, changed careers and there was a long artistic hiatus while I was experiencing life and absorbing my surroundings, creating my library of emotions to later express through my art.
