Vanessa Owens Artist

New Zealand Contemporary Artist

Vanessa is a self-taught Kapiti Coast based Artist.  Vanessa works from her home, with her studio dog called Buster.  Vanessa’s preferred medium are acrylics on stretched canvas and watercolour and ink.

Living on the beautiful Kapiti Coast of New Zealand, the landscape and bird life provide a rich source of inspiration for her creativity.

Vanessa paint’s from the photographs she takes, bringing the images she’s captured, back to her studio to create works of art.  Working with the paint she gradually build’s up the layers and is constantly fascinated by the textures and patterns observed in nature.  The textures, add a boldness and depth to her paintings.
