Auckland Easter Show 2013  - 1st prize "New Zealand in colour" category  (Bay of Islands)
                                                             

Shirley Cresswell is an artist based in Hamilton, New Zealand. She has developed her own photo realism style using acrylics on canvas.

Specialising in New Zealand coastal scenes Shirley depicts these in a realist style that captures light and depth in her work. Her talent for painting detailed images that appear true to the scene and in proportion has meant she is kept busy with commission work.

 

Many of the landscapes that Shirley has painted are from photos she has taken while on holiday; in particular Coromandel, Wellington, Rotorua Lakes and Mahurangi.

   

Shirley loves how something beautiful can be created from a blank canvas and is thrilled that people can obtain pleasure and memories from the images she creates.
