She completed an Art Foundation course in 1991 at Westminster University of London, followed by a Degree in Illustration at De Montfort University. Her style is direct and simple. You will not find clutter in her work. Her guiding principal is intrigue. She wants the viewer to engage with the piece, opening their imagination. She is inspired by the female form and creates an atmosphere in her figurative paintings through pose, composition and subtle shadow. She enjoys the way light captures every line and curve of the body, and you will see many of her works are only partially lit to enhance intrigue. Her work never degrades women, rather, enhances them giving them a peaceful elegance. www.ingrid.co.nz             Jenny Bennet    from New Zealand type of art: Oil on canvas I paint to make something from nothing: to communicate my visions to others; to put people where I have been, on journeys to remote and beautiful parts of New Zealand. Like Anais Nin, I believe that art [writing, painting, music-----] provides us with the ‘anti toxins’ we need to live. www.bakedbean.co.nz             Murray Swan    from New Zealand type of art: Metal sculptures Murray is a full-time artist selling internationally since 1989.

His work remember the great master sculptures, but then with an attentive eye you can see where Roderick become unique. Everything is so perfect but also in a delicate way deformed, parts of the body are bigger and sometime put in extreme position in order to make his message stronger, sensuality, movement, lights verses shadows, constant curves playing with themselves.             Sarah McBeath    from New Zealand type of art: Oil on canvas I have always loved paint I have worked full-time as a painter since 1995, exhibiting regularly in both group and solo shows. My work is held in private and public collections both in New Zealand and overseas. I live in rural New Zealand, and this is also the source of my imagery; I feel a deep empathy for the land. When people see my work, I'd like them to feel a more profound connection with the energies that underlie the landscape, and a greater sense of our place within it.
