        Melanie Rodriga | Studio 9

        I work from a beautiful film/art studio gallery in the 1920s heritage Trinity Building. I create atmospheric oil paintings of Aotearoa’s land, sea and sky. The paintings are quite large but I do have a range of much smaller canvases. The larger paintings can take one to two years to complete as I work in many glazed layers which can take months to dry. I also work to commission.
