Miranda Woollett

New Zealand Bird and Landscape Artist Miranda Woollett graduated from the Wellington Polytechnic Visual Communications Design course with a Diploma in 1980. She has been employed in many different areas of the visual arts including Graphic design, book illustration, set design and worked as a freelance advertising illustrator in Wellington. She has illustrated books for renowned childrens authors Margaret Mahy and Joy Cowley.
"I paint oil paintings of birds in the New Zealand landscape. The idea behind these oil paintings is to try and represent how I feel emotionally as an artist and to communicate on an environmental level. Rather than using people as my subject I choose the bird. It is vulnerable yet gets on with life regardless of circumstances. Its environment is affected by the choices we make.
My art is sourced exclusivly from where I live in New Zealand and my paintings reflect that uniqueness. As an artist I hope to connect with others who have a love of beauty and the envronment we live in.
Each persons reaction to their environment is a unique experience. Everything that we are (our deepest inner self) is transfered from that experience, out into the world for others to see, through the process of creating art."

The art of Miranda Woollett is finely executed and touched by her experience as graphic designer and illustrator. At the centre of her work is Akatarawa valley, where she lives, and the birds - present and extinct - that represent a dynamic and real relationship with New Zealand landscape. Her work often presents a geometric frame, which the artist describes as a space for exploring an idea.....(Jodie Dalgleish, Curator NZAFA).

Miranda is represented by Exhibitions gallery and The New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. Her oil paintings are in private and public art collections in New Zealand and overseas. They are available for hanging at corporate functions, in foyers and for publishing.
