Artist’s biographies
Bruce Anderson
“My daytime job is an engineer, but I have always had an interest in
art and sculpture, and enjoy just ‘making things’. When I visit building
sites in the course of my work, I often salvage bits of wood; together
with a lot of cans and rivets, I make caravans in my spare time and
driftwood dogs!”
Chan Andreassend
Karen Chan and Ronald Andreassend completed interior design diplomas
in 1981. After 15 years involved in a wide range of projects, they began
hand-crafting decorative and functional objects in castpaper and resin.
Christine Barry
Most of her life Barry has enjoyed appreciating the harmony of colour,
texture, light and form arranged in a balanced way. She attempts to
reflect that harmony on the two dimensional plane for the purpose of
pleasing the eye and nourishing the soul.
Michelle Bellamy
Bellamy, originally from Nelson, has been painting for over ten years and
a full time artist for the last seven. Bellamy has worked in all mediums
but loves acrylic paint. She recently completed a commission for Sir
Robert Jones which is displayed in the Forsyth Barr foyer in Auckland.
Pam Blok
Blok is a Romantic Expressionist who uses symbolism and narrative
deriving from the great paintings of the past. Her works hang in public
and private collections including Takapuna City Council Collection and
the James Wallace Collection.

Carrie Bolton
Bolton came to New Zealand from England at age seven and was raised
in South Auckland. She works mainly with acrylic on canvas and has
recently been creating murals for Auckland Council.
Justin Boroughs
Boroughs graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts and University of
Auckland with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1975. He is highly renowned as
a realist landscape painter and currently heads the Art Department of
Auckland Grammar School.
Paddy Bourke
Bourke designs and makes body sculptures and wall plaques. He works
the whole process, from conception to completion and uses a variety
of finishes which include metallic glazes and ceramic stains as well as
different firing options including salt, soda and wood firing.
Renee Boyd
Boyd has a Diploma in Ceramics from Otago Polytechnic. Her work
expresses movement, textures and light in a contemporary way to
reflect New Zealand’s unique landscape.
Robert Bratton
Bratton’s method seeks to distil the process of painting in each carefully
manipulated streak, stain or blob. Like the fingerprint of a tree on the
inside of its trunk, his works tell the story of passing of time, of growth
and of the spaces in between where life happens.
