Biography

Self-taught artist Bec Robertson has always had a passion for creating. Bec has had the pleasure of living in many different places in the world: from Hawkes Bay and Wairarapa, to London, Singapore and even the rain forest of Cairns!

It was while in Cairns, with no electricity and surrounded with Australian wildlife, Bec was provided with the perfect creative space to hone her drawing and painting skills through observation.

Bec now lives in Orakei with her husband and two children.

Bec’s most recent works are intricately beautiful depictions of native New Zealand birds and flora. She explores ink, watercolour and paint in her mixed media pieces. These mediums are immortalised through a lush seal of resin, allowing a vibrant contrast with the fine line ink, wooden base texture, and paint colour palette.
