Bec Robertson

Painter

One of the original artists showing with Turua Gallery, self taught New Zealand artist, Bec Robertson, has always had a passion for creating art. Growing up in Hawkes Bay & Wairarapa before leaving to go overseas, Bec has lived in London, Singapore & even the rain forest of Cairns! Bec found living in the rain forest, for several years with no electricity surrounded by Australian wildlife, was the perfect creative space to observe & draw / paint. Now Bec lives in Orakei with her husband, two children & ‘Ziggy’, a gorgeous schnauzer.

While Bec had an early interest in peacocks after an illustration course, her more recent works are intricate, beautiful depictions of native New Zealand birds & flora. Her mixed media pieces explore ink, watercolour & paint on wood, sealed with a glorious coat of resin – with simply stunning results. This technique allows a vibrant contrast with the fine line ink, texture of the wood base, & paint colour palate.

We have a beautiful selection of Bec’s original work & she is also available for commissions.
