Inspired by quiet, peaceful moments in nature, her work captures the soft light, vast skies, and tranquil landscapes that invite viewers to pause and reflect.

Although she dabbled in painting years earlier, it wasn’t until the Covid lockdowns that she truly reconnected with it, seeking a creative outlet and a sense of calm. What began as a personal escape soon became an essential part of her life, evolving into a way to share the peace and stillness she finds in nature. Working primarily with oil and acrylic, Connie creates landscapes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and serenity, making them perfect for those who wish to bring a moment of peace into their space.

Her preference for high-key tones gives her paintings a soft, atmospheric quality, leaning toward impressionism while remaining rooted in reality. As her work continues to evolve, she is exploring plein air painting and deepening her study of light to bring even more luminosity into her pieces.

Connie’s work can be viewed at the Left Bank Art Gallery in Greymouth and Colours of the Coast Gallery in Hokitika, or through her online collection. If you'd like to keep up to date with what’s happening in her studio, you can join her email newsletter.
