About The Artist

Kelly Pearce

Contemporary New Zealand Landscape Painter

Hello — I’m an artist based in Queenstown in the lower South Island of New Zealand.

My favourite weather is sunshine just after a storm, when clouds cling to the peaks and light floods the valley. Queenstown is about outdoor living, adventure and appreciating the beauty around us, We love to connect with and reflect the outdoors in our homes.

My work is emotive and expressive, shaped by the landscapes around me. I paint mainly in oil, in abstract, semi-abstract and expressive styles. My work should be a reminder of place, season or a feeling. I wish for the viewer to connect with the work as they do with the world outside.

I share my studio & outdoor life on social media and send a 1–2 monthly email update. Sign up to get first looks at new work, show invitations, reviews and news.

To buy or enquire: email me or visit the small paintings shop on this site. Small works can be shipped to NZ or Australia. For larger pieces or overseas shipping, contact me for a quote. If you’re in Central Lakes, Southland or Otago get in touch to arrange an appointment in your home or business for viewing in-situ.

My work is also represented by The Artist Room Gallery, Dowling St, Dunedin — phone +64 347 41111 or email michelle@theartistsroom.co.nz. Most available work is shown here on the site; I can tell you where each piece is located.

Stay and have a look around — Kelly
