‘from out of the blue studio gallery’ approached these three artists who are strongly influenced by their locations as the source of their inspiration. They come from across New Zealand. Julz is located at Waiinu Beach just North of Whanganui on the wild west coast, Lynn Taylor comes from the South Island city of Dunedin and tracey sullivan is a resident of Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf just off from Auckland City. Very different physical worlds but each producing a distinctive response in the artists who dwell there.

This is a wonderful collection of intimate works, perfect for this time of year as a place to find a special offering of love for someone you care about. Every work expresses attention to detail and a wonderful eye for colours, textures and atmosphere.
