Renaissance portraits body of work

A Sneak peek into my Renaissance body of work I have completed so far.

Crowns,jewels, nude bodies and more!

This is the fun part for me deciding what jewels to adorn each Wahine.

I Just love it and I hope you do to?

This summer I was lucky and privileged to be asked by Tame Iti to swap one of my vintage Wahine mirrors .How lucky am I!

Art sharing is such a great way to collaborate with other artists and gain a great collection of art.

I am so PROUD to have Tame’s art displayed in my home and he equally loves mine!

My body of Renaissance Wahine portraits is growing with tree Wahine hair!

My arts practice always begins with the eyes .

From there the rest of the painting just flows and then the fun part begins of clothing my Renaissance Wahine,adding lace, a crown ,jewels and more.

I especially love adding the gold and silver leaf-so satisfying

LIFE IMITATES ART far more than Art Imitates Life!

The notion that an event in the real world was inspired by a creative work.

In the Renaissance error they knew what to do with the talent ,by giving artists a mission.

They had a clear sense of what art is for.

Artist were rewarded and invested in properly.

My Tin Types were exhibited at the Lourve in Paris 2015. This was a group collaboration with the Arty Farties .I worked hard to fundraise by art busking in the streets of Whakatane rain ,hail and shine and doing what it took to go!

A great experience and memories!
