Painting Brush Strokes with Soul and Story
Wendy Shipman Artist
My artwork is recognised for its fresh, understated approach and distinctive themes—especially my café and marine scenes, which are celebrated for their simplicity, quirky charm, and impressionistic style. Working primarily with gouache, I achieve a gentle, soft texture that many say brings soul and warmth to my paintings. Each piece is crafted to evoke a sense of memory and emotion, resonating deeply with viewers and often sparking cherished recollections. Through recurring motifs and subtle storytelling, my art reflects a unique expression of Kiwi culture and the essence of everyday moments, offering viewers a window into both familiar and dreamlike worlds.

“I was thrilled to buy your painting
It is a privileged to have your art on my wall, and I will always cherish it.
I have been searching for a picture of the island,
but nothing has captivated me like yours-it is truly special."
