Decisions by abstract artist, Doreen McNeill, is a bright pop of colour!  Now 91, Doreen continues to paint with passion, gusto and skill as seen by her selection as a finalist in the 2020 Miles Art Awards. 

The underlying inspiration comes from the basic elements representing nature. Doreen builds up layers of exquisite colour to give the work depth and a vibrant sense of texture. #artcollectors #bayofplenty #nzart #contemporaryart #abstract art
La Moana (Ocean Current) 1974 by Elizabeth Kyle Grainger is one of the older works in our collection. In the 1970s, Grainger, of European descent, was inspired by Māori traditions and created paintings that referenced Māori motifs and iconography
Our members have loved hanging Peter Cramond’s figurative work ‘The Fisherman’s Story’ in their homes and it was a popular work at our 2019 exhibition. 
A painter, sculptor and environmental advocate.
