About Joanne Craig:
My name is Joanne Craig and I am an artist living in Ōtepoti, Dunedin. I live on a lifestyle block overlooking Blueskin Bay, surrounded by the beauty of nature and birdlife, with Orokonui bird sanctuary just up the road.
 As many of us, I am inspired by the natural world and its capacity to uplift. We are a part of the natural world, not apart from it. In my work I celebrate the beauty of nature through portraits of people and animals with a current focus being on NZ birdlife. At a deeper level I explore themes of belonging and connection.
 I work in acrylic paints, and use also metallic and interference paints, to capture the iridescent shimmer in the feathers of our beautiful birds.
 I hope my work helps people reconnect with the beauty of our natural world and reminds of the values of connection and belonging that sustain us.

About Siau-Jiun Lim:
Siau-Jiun Lim creates acrylic paintings that incorporate mixed media, focusing on landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. Growing up in Malaysia, she was surrounded by the scents of wet markets, the sight of coconut trees swaying under the bright sun, and the dense, humid tropical forest. These early experiences greatly influenced her sensitivity to colour, atmosphere, and emotion. For over twenty years, she has made Dunedin, New Zealand, her home.  A place where she feels a deep sense of belonging and where her artistic practice has evolved, shaping both her painting techniques and her experience of colour.

Siau-Jiun graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Art (Honours) from the Dunedin School of Art and received the Con Hutton Scholarship during her four years of study. Her work is included in the Wallace Arts Trust Collection and is held in the Moray Gallery, Dunedin. She often goes beyond traditional brushes, incorporating found objects and creating her own tools from natural materials, allowing texture and physical gestures to play an active role in her work. For her, painting is a means of exploring place, time, and lived experience.
