Sarah Flourish - Dunedin artist

Sarah Flourish gleaned most of her art techniques over the happy years raising her children on her Otago Peninsula farm. Self development and inquisitive play were supported by fantastic classes in Fine and Visual arts at Kings High school, and various summer art schools and camps. Since moving to the city 10 years ago, art has had to fit around a full time job. Which is much harder than fitting round children as it turns out!
Much of the work over the last 15 to 20 years has been on the bases of trays and baskets which have been salvaged and deconstructed.
These works may be hung in groups or individually. They post easily and economically and are hanging in several countries on the other side of the globe. The artist can be contacted directly on smckartist@gmail.com or 021 258 4623.

Małgorzata Lech - Polish artist specialising in "print by number" technique meaning precise painting over a pre-printed & marked fields on the canvas.
