A photo of the artist, Jane Puckey Jane Puckey

Jane was born in Auckland and as a child dreamt of becoming an Artist. She has painted for the last thirty years in a self developed style, focusing on the beauty of New Zealand – creating what she loves onto canvas and enjoying great success in a series of exhibitions in Auckland.

Her attention to detail has an almost photographic quality, with each painting taking two to three weeks to paint and her larger works a month or more. Jane remembers the sense of being present with whatever she is painting and this aliveness comes through in her work.

The majority of Jane’s work consists of coastal scenes, reflecting her love of the sea, Pohutukawas, beaches and headlands. The warm land tones combined with the ever-changing blues and greens of the sea produce a sense of summer joy and lightness in her work.
