New Zealand Artist Mica Kerridge, based in Whanganui, is recognized for her encaustic/mixed media paintings, which blend vibrant hues with deep, tactile textures. Her work captures fragments of history and the beauty in everyday moments, celebrating the often overlooked.
Through beeswax, oil paint and mixed-media, Mica layers colour and form to create immersive storytelling in each piece. Her practice is a balance of free-expression and careful intention, allowing each work to evolve naturally.
"It's important to find a place where we can explore without boundaries, venturing into places that words alone cannot convey. Creating art is my way of connecting with that world, inviting others to join me in this space of imagination, mindfulness and deeper understanding." - Mica Kerridge.
