Waiheke Island Art at Bluefish Studio

Bold seascapes in uplifting colours celebrate the dramatic coastal landscape of Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Artist Jennifer Fountain uses resounding turquoises, blues, lush greens and golds to capture the peninsulas, inlets and vistas of her island home. Raised in New England, USA, Jennifer trained as a graphic designer in the United Kingdom and eventually emigrated to Australia in 1990. Working as a photographer, designer and copywriter in Sydney, she began visiting New Zealand in 1992 and fell in love with the land and seascapes. Although she dreamed of moving to New Zealand to paint full time, her ambition was left unfulfilled until 1999. Her quirky studio, Bluefish Studio, includes decorated and decoupage furniture as well as whimsical creations from driftwood and seashells.
