Renee Walden - New Zealand watercolour artist. Art & Illustration.


Over the years I have worked on a number of different bodies of work. Every painting is inspired by the world around me - the land, the plants and animals and the man made objects that hold a story. You'll notice that my love of plein air painting is reflected in every one of these completed works - even if only in abstract form.

 

Some of these artworks may still be available. So if you are interested in something please browse the artwork for sale section.
