Wellington artist Miranda Woollett
'In my paintings I am trying to explore the relationship between what we perceive as reality and what we actually see'
In my New Zealand birds paintings I paint birds in the landscape as opposed to with a landscape. I like to give both the bird, landscape, foliage and message equal importance as I see them as interconnected and needing one another. I believe nothing stands on its own physically or spiritually and this is what I try to convey in my paintings. The environment, the entity, colour, spacial platform, rhythm and most important the light (spiritual and seen) are all important relational considerations in my work'
