Kym Marsden: painter |

Art is an extension of who we are and what we have to say shaped by our experiences and emotions.
The artist, the work and audience can connect at a level of silent communication.
I work in many mediums and styles and I aim for colour texture and line to work together harmoniously to evoke an emotion.
I find it liberating to work intuitively exploring abstract ideas. My art will often evolve reflecting a subject relevant to me at that time.
I was awarded an Oriel Hoskin Scholarship to study art, was a finalist in the Emerging Artist Awards, won overall winner in the Portage mug show, have exhibited in solo and group shows in Auckland, set up 2 gallery spaces developing them into co-ops with artist friend Nicky Hartley, written 2 children’s stories and had my young students participating in illustrations with one book so far completed to print.
I have been teaching art and creativity to both children and adults for the last 10 years watching students learn to think creatively and believe in their own potential while staying true to my own artistic journey.
Since moving back to Whangarei my creativity has been used in setting up home and studio in a simple and environmentally friendly way. As I merge into Northlands art scene I hope to experiment more with beeswax and incorporate more natural products into my art practice including milk paints.
Feel free to enquire about commissions.
