Susan Hurrell Fieldes
Much of Susan’s education and inspiration as a printmaker comes from New York where she works and studies each year. So it seems perfectly appropriate that New York was the venue for her first solo exhibition in 2011.
Susan uses solar plate and monotype processes to create her abstract works which have been widely exhibited at such diverse places as Penang, France, Bulgaria, Canada, America and New Zealand. Susan is currently living and working in Bulgaria.
Featured Artist
Kim Crossan
Kim was born and bred in the Otago town of Kelso that has since been relocated due to its history of flooding. When she was in her early twenties Kim brought Kelso’s memories and her love of the outdoors with her on her shift north to Auckland. She now lives in rural Albany near Auckland surrounded by the most beautiful native bush and bird life.
Some eight years ago Kim walked into Adrien Jennings Art Gallery in Albany Village and it changed her life. Captivated by the art that she saw she began art classes in which she was introduced to the art of painting with oils.
Much of Kim’s inspiration for her landscapes, seascapes and nature’s beauty comes from her love of the New Zealand backcountry and her tramping excursions and overnight stays in Department of Conservation huts.
Kim has exhibited throughout New Zealand and produced a variety of commissioned artworks.
