Equality (2019): Tui, Hibiscus – Pacific Islands, Harekeke – New Zealand, Tullip – Netherlands, Camellia – New Zealand was one of the first countries who allowed women the vote and in this painting it represents equality. The 3 pieces: Diversity, Unity, and Equality celebrate and recognise New Zealand’s cultural diversity together with the unique native birds. There are over 200 nationalities in NZ so I was only able to cover a few in these three pieces. The bowl is the same in each piece to show the commonality of each nationality based on where we live.

We have watched Angie grow in confidence and skill over the passed decade, she is a treasured part of the Creative & Brave family of artists. Angie is an artist who explores her thoughts directly onto canvas, discussions at home or with friends are transformed into symbols and characters which then play out narratives in her compositions. We like to think of Angie’s works as visual productions, each component be it a rose or a highly detailed vessel is part of a greater story for us to explore. Even the labored hand painted brocade sets the tone of the picture which is that every inch is considered and deliberate.
