MARISE RARERE AT THE SHED
Ngati Ranginui / Pakeha
MFA (Painting/Sculpture), RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
BMA, (Wintec), Hamilton
Marise is a full-time artist. She lives at Whale Bay with husband Mike, close to the special surfing spots. Recently Marise has shifted in to her current base on Hills Road / Marise @ mahi. A sweet converted shearer’s shed with wonderful views full of inspiration. This is a progression after several years of shared arrangements (Artists at Work Studio and Gallery, Wabi Sabi Studio).
“It is a transition period for me. A chance to reset and have a more concentrated focus on drawing, painting, pottery and making new works. Lots of experimentation and exploration is happening.”
