Norine Dixon

Painting

21A Poplar Grove, Whalers Gate, New Plymouth 4310, New Zealand

Passionate about pastel, Norine loves its vibrancy, rich colours, and even the messiness of the medium. Specializing in landscapes, they are inspired by the vast beauty of the natural world, capturing its diverse colours, shapes, and shades. Still life also holds a special appeal, offering an intimate way to freeze a moment in time and tell a story through art.

Animal portraiture is another favorite, with many commissioned works bringing beloved pets to life on canvas. Always starting with the eyes, they create an immediate connection with the subject—sometimes even engaging in conversation with them during the painting process.

Beyond pastel, collage is a second passion, allowing for the exploration of texture, shapes, and storytelling. The process of cutting, layering, and composing leads to deeply satisfying artworks that embody creativity and spontaneity.
