Jeanette Vickers:
Photographic Artist 

Picture
Picture

​Jeanette is a full-time photographic artist. She has travelled a path that few photographers have travelled before her.  She has always loved water whether it is sea water, fresh water or gel.

The use of these, she finds makes the colours darker and brighter. At the moment she is exploring New Zealand’s Iconic sea shell the paua, with its bright greens, blues and pinks
In 2005 Jeanette started her digital photography career photographing mushrooms and fungi. She was besotted with these tiny little and not so little entities.  She had her first exhibition at the Mangawhai Golf Club exhibiting over 90 photographs of different fungi and mushrooms she'd found on the Mangawhai golf course.
 
In 2011 Jeanette's focus moved to water and the sea. She made a large body of work, showing water ripples morphing into different shapes and colours depending on wind, tides, and bow waves of boats.  These photographs were taken in Picnic Bay, Mangawhai, down the hill from where she lived. 
 
More recently Jeanette is finding NZ's iconic paua shell fascinating. Water enhancing the colours, patterns, and visual effects (bubbles, drops drips and ripple effects) gives paua a new energy and excitement.

Jeanette has all her photos professionally printed and framed.  They are printed on archival canvas with archival inks. 
She only makes one print of each of her photos.

 Jeanette has exhibited widely, Mangawhai Artists Gallery, Mangawhai Art Trails, Matakohe Museum – Kaipara Art Awards (winning a first in 2011 for her photograph ‘Wave Collision’) Reyburn House - Whangarei, Mairangi Arts Centre, Estuary Arts Centre - Orewa, Hamilton Art Show, In Spirit Gallery Hamilton, and Whanganui – the Yellow House.
