Abbie is a mixed media artist/designer/maker based in the Tasman region of NZ.  Her materials are varied, but  lately she has tended to gravitate mostly to using stained glass, copper and lead, occasionally  mixing in recycled wood or other repurposed items. Steel and aluminium are new materials that she is exploring. 

Abbie has exhibited  in Houston Texas and New Zealand. She has enjoyed collaborative opportunities with inspiring artists in the US and the UK and has donated many works to charity auctions. She has made 2D and sculptural works that vary from small pieces to large installations and is proud to have works in private collections in NZ, Australia, America, France, Belgium, Holland, England and Scotland.

Largely self-taught and with a willingness to improvise while focusing on details, Abbie enjoys pushing the boundaries of her materials. Using light, refractions and shadows, Abbie’s static works move and change in the 3 dimensions. They embody both strength and fragility. All her creations are handmade and unique.
