To Life - Original

Jane Puckey's family has lived in Northland for generations and the exceptional natural beauty of the area is significant and meaningful to her. Jane's inspiration to paint arises from the play and contrast of New Zealand's brilliant light on the ever changing hues of the sea and deep colours of the land. 

Over the past 25 years, Jane has actively evolved her painting process from water colours to acrylics on canvas, also developing a more subtle colour palette. Jane's painting exhibits an increasing level of abstraction within structure, and overall, more sensitivity regarding tonal qualities as Jane surrenders to being fully in the present moment with her work.

The aliveness in Jane’s contemporary style evokes the beauty and presence of New Zealand, leading to her paintings and prints being celebrated and sought after by collectors here in New Zealand and internationally.

This piece is titled "To Life" and was inspired by the documentary on Oliver Sacks, a renowned figure in the field. The landscape in the background is Ponui island as seen from Waiheke Island, and the featured flowers are Pohutukawa - a personal favorite. Whether displayed on paper or canvas, this artwork serves as a stunning window into a summertime scene. Created with acrylic paint on canvas.
