Clare Reilly for Live Wires 

Live Wires are an old favourite here at Creative & Brave, established in 1991 they are owned and operated right here in Aotearoa. Working as a wholesale distributor, Live Wires are fantastic supporters of independent artists and New Zealand artists and designers.  

Since her first exhibition in Wellington, 1976 - Clare’s painting career has spanned four decades - her distinctive art works are dream-like scenes of beautiful landscapes, usually scattered with the native flora and fauna of Aotearoa. Now based in Blueskin Bay, in the North of Dunedin - working from a studio encased in native bush, Clare’s inspirations are easy to see in her works, the abundance of native birds that visit her garden come from a nearby eco-sanctuary, and throughout her work birds in flight are used as symbols of joy, hope and renewal.
