Kris was born in Christchurch in 1971 and studied art and design at Christchurch Polytechnic, graduating in 1992 with a diploma of Visual Communications. She has since worked as a graphic designer and illustrator before taking up painting full-time in 2010.
She works from her studio in Summerhill overlooking the Oxford Ranges and is often out walking in the local landscape or down at the Rakahuri River and this inspires much of her work. A landscape and botanical artist at heart Kris has recently been exploring figurative drawing and abstract painting.
Kris loves drawing in a range of mediums and paints predominantly in acrylic and watercolour. She has recently taken up printmaking, creating intricate drypoints and embossed prints of still lives, family heirlooms and found objects from the local environment.
Kris’s work has recently featured as part of the Avis ‘Art of Discovery’ ad campaign with her semi-abstract landscapes of Banks Peninsula.
Her work is currently available through Art Box Gallery in Christchurch, Arts in Oxford Gallery and online at Felt.co.nz

Multi-media art for Mark is a balance between creative instinct and technical skill. Mark works with a variety of opposing, yet complimentary mediums providing a balance of harmonious achievement and creative accomplishment.
Where Mark's paintings portray meticulous realism, his sculptures take on a more fluid and contemporary form. Successful execution offers a strong sense of personal fulfilment, creating lifelong pleasure for both himself and the viewer.
Mark is mostly inspired by nature's flora and fauna. He also takes stimulus from a range of artists including his 2nd great-grandfather, Samuel Horatio Moreton (1842-1921). Mark focuses attention on his interpretation of these visual stimuli and works to show an emotional connection within each of his art pieces.
Mark has achieved a number of awards for both his public and private art commissions, as well as within the sign-writing industry. Mark sells his artworks locally, nationally and internationally.

Born in UK, Came to NZ in 1975. I am a member of Arts Canterbury, Rangiora Art Society and the Kaiapoi art section of the KWMC.
I have always loved art even from a young age. I have tried all mediums and settled on Acrylics and on some occasions Oils. I have had no training so taught myself by reading books and experimentation.
I work from photos. I have family and friends all over the world who send them to me.
I have had paintings published in Australian artist magazine and the NZ artist magazine. I have sold paintings in NZ, England Australia and the USA. I have won several awards over the years.
I haven’t any one particular style as I like to vary my subjects and paint as the mood takes me.
