Art Prints and Paintings New Zealand

Palm Prints is a fine art print business based in Raglan, New Zealand. This beautiful seaside environment inspires artists Jane Galloway and Stuart Mackenzie to spend most of their time involved in art making.

Since 2003 the two artists have produced greeting card designs for Live Wires NZ Ltd and some of those early photo montages are still printed today. A decade later, as customer demand evolved, Jane became principal designer using her skills in painting and illustration. Jane's love of the natural world and art and design history are evident in her images which become both greeting cards and limited edition prints. One or two new print ranges are produced annually and released in small hand-signed and numbered editions.

Jane's latest abstract paintings can be seen at Jane Galloway Artist

 

 

Artist Julian Godfery is Jane’s son. He has his own unique view of the world which can be seen in his drawings which involve intense pattern-making of images in either abstract or naïve styles. His representational drawings with their simple subjects convey a true purity of spirit. Julian would love to be a full-time artist. His dream is to win the IHC Art Awards, as he has been a finalist several times.

Stuart Mackenzie is a fine art photographer.

He captures images across a wide spectrum, from sensitive landscapes to quirky, humourous and satirical imagery.
