Angela Whitney is an artist whose practice explores the relationship between colour, pattern and texture. With over twenty years of experience as a visual designer, her work reflects a considered shift from digital design to slow, tactile making. She works with repetition, grid structures and subtle variation, drawing quiet influence from the rhythms and textures of both the natural world and the built environment. For Whitney, colour operates as both structure and rhythm, while materiality and tension introduce moments of softness and imperfection.

Have you seen our ever popular ceramic ๐‘พ๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐‘บ๐’Š๐’๐’Œ๐’†๐’“๐’” by Darryl Frost?

When Darryl's pieces are unveiled from the wood kiln, the true beauty of his mahi is revealed, altered and distorted, the raw materials shaped by man and fire.

Frost's distinctive Anagama wood-firing style has earned both national and international recognition, along with several awards, including a Diploma of Honour from Korea. Alongside his ceramic practice, he has pursued a passion for large-scale multimedia sculpture, with works held in public and private collections throughout New Zealand, including the Wallace Arts Trust.

Coming in sizes small, medium and large.

Jade's distinctive paintings draw inspiration from Mother Nature and the feminine form, celebrating our deep connection to the natural world. Influenced by her surroundings in Aotearoa, her work moves between the grounded and the ethereal, expressed through earthy palettes, organic strokes and rustic textures. Each piece reflects both physical and emotional journeys through the land, inviting a quiet moment of connection back to nature and to self.โ

We love working alongside our artists and building relationships that grow and evolve over time. For us, these connections are an important part of what makes Kina Artspace special. As our artistsโ€™ ideas, aesthetics, materials and experiences develop and unfold, so too does our relationship with them.

It is a shared journey built on trust, conversation, encouragement and a genuine appreciation for the creative process. We value being there to support our artists through the different stages of their practice, celebrating new directions, ideas and bodies of work along the way.
