Red Delicious Gallery

Our next Red Delicious Artist is Anna Layzell.

Anna draws inspiration from the ever-changing natural environment which surrounds her, as well as from memories of places that form a part of her personal history.

She seeks to evoke a sense of space and calm in her work while exploring quiet - almost meditative - moments in nature. Her work is an invitation to the viewer to reflect on their connection with the natural world. While abstract her work speaks of landscape.

Anna is a mixed media artist working predominantly with oil and cold wax medium. In her printmaking process practice found materials inspire her collagraph printmaking

Our next Red Delicious Artist is Clarke Gregory.

Brought up in Hawke’s Bay and educated in the Wairarapa and Wellington, Clarke was an artist and designer from his earliest days. He followed university with a start in sales, before working as a design assistant to Michael G***k, who ran a design and retail operation as well as a stage and set design practice for film and video production.

This led to advertising agency film work and a stint as agency Art Director before returning to a set designer role in TV and feature film work, culminating in his Senior Set Design role on Lord of the Rings 1998-2001, and several NZ and overseas TV productions (Disney, Hercules)

The design and production of indoor and outdoor spaces for film and events became his forte and this progressed into a Landscape Design practice from 2005 until retirement in 2023.

Clarke has had three solo painting shows at Oedipus Rex Gallery, and continues to enjoy painting, sculpture and landscape art in many forms. He has recently added photography to his repertoire.

His paintings are thoughtful, even a little wistful, but always with the promise of hope just beyond the horizon.

Our next Red Delicious Artist is Philothera Flynn.
Of Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu, European, and Australian whakapapa this Eastborne-based artist began her jewellery journey in Ubud, Bali in 2017. Following a significant health scare, she turned to creating jewellery as a vital source of healing and creative focus.

Learning from local and international experts, her work is deeply inspired by the natural world and the endless curiousity of the making process. For Philothea, jewellery is more than an accessory for herself and others. It is a way to celebrate life, adorn and appreciate the body, and express a profound gratitude for life through the creation and gifting of jewellery.

Our next Red Delicious Artist is Jane Tan.

She is a Scottish born artist currently living on the Brontë Peninsula, Tasman, New Zealand.
Mainly self taught she has also attended the independent Brown School of Art in Auckland for four years of studio practice and mentoring.

She works in Contemporary Drawing and Painting, driven by a deep instinctive need to create. Her practice is experiential - a way of processing and recording emotion through visual language.

Drawing and painting is how she connects with herself, with others and with the world around her. They allow her to communicate on both a physical and spiritual level, often navigating the space between the conscious and subconscious.

Each piece becomes a record - a reflection of memory, feeling, and connection in the present moment.

She has been a finalist in the Molly Morpeth Art Awards and twice selected as a finalist for the Parkin Drawing Prize.

Every three days Red Delicious Gallery will be featuring one of its very talented Cooperative Artists starting with the wonderful Megan Campbell.

Megan has been making Art and exhibiting for over thirty years.

She is primarily self taught but did attend 1 year of post graduate Fine Arts in the early 2000’s.

Her work is described as Faux naïf/Sophisticated Primitive, and Neo Romantic with Surrealistic tendencies.

Megan finds beauty in the ordinary and the mundane.

She has held many solo exhibitions in Wellington, Wairarapa and Dunedin.
In 2012 she was the inaugural recipient of the Caselberg Residency.
Her work is housed at Te Papa, Aratoi and Art House Trust.

Greg O’Brien, in his 2008 book ‘Back and Beyond,’ described Megan as a magpie ‘when it comes to painting scenes from history, she picks up and poozles things from all over the place’

We are honoured to have Megan as one of our full-time members
