Haere mai! Welcome to the studio
About the artist
Born in Cheshire, England, Owen has a background in graphic design, with a BA (hons) in graphic communication. After Studying in Cardiff, Owen went on to work as a designer, and then met his future wife, which brought him to New Zealand. After working for various design agencies, Owen now works as a senior designer in the Capital City of New Zealand, Wellington.
Owen's latest work is a series based on Mt Kaukau and the surrounding hills and streams in Wellington, NZ. He walks the tracks and, weather permitting - sets up the easel and attempts to capture the peace and stillness to be found there. Owen then creates larger paintings from these outdoor (en plein air) sessions at home.
Owen is a member of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts (NZAFA), and regularly exhibits at the Academy Gallery near Wellington's waterfront.
