Robyn is a Hawke’s Bay based artist working primarily with oil paint and oil sticks. Her practice explores the human condition through an open-ended, intuitive approach that embraces the materiality of paint. Robyn’s work invites reflection on identity and perception, inspired by a vision of a world where character transcends appearance. She holds a Bachelor of Art and Design from Ideaschool (EIT) and has been exhibiting her work since 2013.

With a background in interior design and painting, Sha has found her strongest connection through clay. Her hand-built forms evolve intuitively, shaped by the clay’s natural responses and the moment of their making. Organic and tactile, each sculpture carries traces of process and stands as both object and record of the dialogue between material and maker.

Pippi is a narrative-driven figurative painting. She began a sustained art practice in 2020 after an honours degree in Literature at Otago University and completed an MFA at the Dunedin School of Art in 2023. Working primarily in gouache, her paintings explore gender, vulnerability and folklore, drawing on personal relationships, daily life, and the landscapes and interiors around her.
