Levi Hawken | Sculptor
Levi Hawken’s art is shaped by his experiences in skateboarding, graffiti, and working with concrete and nature. Starting his career in graffiti in Auckland during the mid-1990s, Hawken grew frustrated with the transient nature of street art and turned to the studio to create works with lasting impact. His paintings, drawings, and sculptures serve as "keepsakes" of his street art past.
Helena Skerlj-Rovers | Textile Artist
Helena Skerlj-Rovers is an emerging multi-disciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau,
Auckland. Since graduating in 2021 with a BFA (hons) from Elam School of Fine Arts,
Helena's continued work has largely been driven by an exploration of colour and gesture.
More recently expanding from her painting practice into textiles and soft materials, Helena
has drawn her life-long love of craft and handwork into her work in the form of tufted rugs
Sharon Duymel | Painter
Sharon attempts to translate the complexities of the interior mind by giving a psychological reading, through the physicality of the body. She often uses the female form to invoke her female perspective of lived experience.
Sharon seeks to carve out her own space to speak about female agency, in an effort to raise awareness of her experiences and challenges as a woman today.
Lizzie Beere | Painter
Lizzie describes her style as intertwining the abstract and the figurative. Best known for her large abstract botanical paintings and hand built ceramics, she works in a loose, non-representational style, expanding and exploding the traditions of still life. There’s the reference to nature and ghost-like vessels and vases, while the underlying loose structure and pallet of composition remain rooted in the abstraction. The contrast between the recognisable and the obscure.
Charlotte Robertson | Painter
Charlotte Robertson is a self-taught artist based in Dunedin who creates contemporary folk art. Her work explores themes of the divine, energetic portals, and animism, using symbolism and stylized forms to convey deeper meaning. Inspired by fairy tales, folk art, and ancient Mayan, Greek, and Egyptian art, her paintings are steeped in mythology and magic.
