Louise is an Auckland-based painter creating atmospheric abstract works that explore light, depth and quiet colour relationships. Working in layered oil pigments, her paintings evolve slowly through blending and soft transitions, allowing subtle shifts in tone and luminosity to emerge. Her work reflects a fascination with stillness, mood and the emotional qualities of colour, creating pieces that feel calm, contemplative and quietly immersive.

Barry Ross Smith is an oil painter creating surreal imagery of islands dotted with colonial villas and oversized birds. His works obliquely draw concern for our environment and the after effects of colonialism upon our native species. They feature in public, private and corporate collections across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, North America and Asia.
