Pam Buffery

Art is a passion of mine and for many years I have just admired it and doodled on the sidelines. A few years ago I moved across the planet to New Zealand, which is a place of dramatic and diverse landscapes. Inspiration struck and I picked up a paint brush, which hasn’t been put down since!

Landscapes, mountains, bodies of water, light and flight are incredibly joyful to paint. I try hard to capture how I see my beautiful home on canvas. Some of these pictures are whimsical in nature, you have been warned!

I also enjoy painting in different styles you can see some examples of this around my portfolios.

Media: canvas, board, oils, ink and paper.

I hope you enjoy wondering around my portfolios and looking at the paintings and pictures as much as I did doing them. Feel free to contact me about anythingin them.
