About me

Hello my name is Shona Harris Artist - Art Tutor

I've only recently learnt about painting. Over the years I have dabbled in most crafts at some time or another, I still do some, will get back to some, and some I will never bother about again, but I have tried and enjoyed them all.

I cannot say that I have been as absorbed in any of these activities as I find I am with painting, and I never really intended to ever paint, but as things happen in life opportunities present themselves and I took mine and ran with it.

Malcolm at the NZ Artschools, talked me into going to Florida for an instructor's course in the 'Wet on Wet' technique. I talked it over with the family, who gave me the go ahead, so I spent their inheritance's and packed by bags and went. Thank you Malcolm for this amazing opportunity that has opened up so much to me.

I have continued to learn from some great artists, attending their classes both here in NZ and Australia, and have now been introduced to 'water colours' and this is offerring me yet another challenge.

Now I am regularly tutoring at the NZ Artschools, and at Newlands and Feilding Community Colleges and have my own teaching studio "Art in the Barn" at Gladstone, in the Wairarapa.

In 2007 my husband and I moved to our small farm in the Wairarapa, so after feeding the chocks in the orchard and enjoying a cuddle and chat with our small flock of Gotland sheep and the alpacas we foster, along with all the other mundane jobs that crop up daily, sometimes I get to settle down, lost to the world and its worries for a couple of hours with the brushes.

Thank you to my wonderful family, and all our friends both in NZ and overseas who always encourage and support us.
