Hawke's Bay is home to a host of talented artists. In this series, Summer Artscape, Linda Hall asks some questions about their work, lifestyle and plans for the future. Today we talk to Kathy Boyle.
First tell us a little about yourself
I grew up in Wellington, trained as a teacher and about 30 years ago moved to Napier.
As long as I can remember I have always created art, tried pottery, painting, sculpture the lot, although drawing has always been a constant.
What is your main medium?
About 15 years ago I attended a printmaking night class and I was sold and I have made prints ever since. Printmaking workshops were not readily available in Hawke's Bay then so I spent a lot of time travelling backwards and forwards between Napier and Whanganui, learning as much I could about print. I am a founding member of the Print Council of New Zealand and I am their current chairperson. I attended EIT and graduated with a Bvad in 2010.
