About Arwen Flowers

Arwen completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Auckland's Elam School of Fine Arts, New Zealand in 1995. Since then she has worked full time as a graphic designer, married and become mother to three, while continuing to paint. The Auckland West Coast beaches and Waitakere Ranges where she grew up, have always been a strong visual influence in her creative work, as well as the journey to and from Auckland city and her home in the township of Helensville, Auckland. Arwen's work examines life and the environment; its borders and in-between places, changes of state - physical, ephemeral. These narratives are explored through the use of colour, texture and line.
