Kirsty Nixon
Born, raised and residing in Auckland, Kirsty Nixon began capturing the vibrant personality of Aotearoa’s landscape in 1994. Kirsty’s style was so greatly received, that she found herself leaving her career as an Art Director for an Advertising Agency and becoming a full-time Artist.
Kirsty has accumulated a large following of collectors with her ability to capture the New Zealand landscape, flora and birdlife connecting with Kiwis nationally and internationally. Nixon’s contribution to the New Zealand landscape is fresh & distinctly modern and she has gained recognition as one of Aotearoa’s foremost landscape artists.
Excerpt from her latest exhibition at Little River Gallery:
“Hours in the car with a local takes you to places off the beaten track. Over high, high hills, down deep valleys, wonderous pebbled coastlines with a quiet atmosphere, white sand beaches and finishing wrapped in the cloak of beautiful lesser-known public gardens. Timing this particular visit, the road to Akaroa graced us with a beautiful low tide vista. Soft, late afternoon light falling on distant hills creating dark shadows in its folds is something that has always awakened the artist in me.”
