Lisa Bindon
Lisa Bindon has been painting as long as she can remember and as a professional artist for the past 12 years.
Her style is constantly changing, and her latest works largely feature a variety of stylised buildings. She paints predominantly with strong vibrant colours, often highlighted by underlying texture and areas of high gloss resin.
Lisa has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, with noteworthy success in the NZ Art Show, Artfusion and the Great Summer Art Exhibition.
Lisa works out of her Matakana home studio. She is a self–taught artist without any formal training and she believes that the best way to learn is by experimenting and constantly trying new ideas, materials and techniques.
Featured Artist
Gitta Schrade
Gitta is an established knitwear designer and pattern writer who has also worked in North America and Europe for numerous years. It was her interest in fibre art and weaving that led her to weaving in copper, a material she uses for art including wall abstracts and outdoor sculptures.
Gitta’s inspiration comes from nature and our everyday surroundings and she enjoys recreating her artistic reflections in copper because of its many shades and its organic qualities.
She has been pursuing this passion since 2006 and it has led to exhibitions in Canada and Germany. In New Zealand her work has been exhibited in Devonport and Takapuna events as well as the Original Art Sale in 2008-2012 and the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens in 2011-2012.
