About Nolene McMaster

Throughout childhood I was always busy creating something with my hands.

However, it wasn't until my late forties while I was living in Oman, a friend asked me to accompany her to a drawing class. That was a pivotal moment for me, a real "light-bulb" moment and the beginning of my on-going obsession with painting.

I have since attended a few classes and workshops but am mainly self-taught. My artistic interest has always been florals, my reference material coming from our beautiful garden we created in Auckland over many years.

I love that flowers are still beautiful and bring joy at all stages of their lifecycle. I hope to bring rest, peace, and pleasure to the viewer through the use of oils as my medium, often with bold colour and strong contrasts of light and shade.

My move to beautiful Kinloch on the shores of Lake Taupo has allowed me the luxury of space to indulge my art practice and time to further develop my technical skills.

I am truly blessed to be in my happy place.
