Paintings

Being an artist has come into my life in a very spiritual way and I am very grateful for it.I started painting about seven years now when i saw visions of paintings in my dreams.I still do. I started painting with acrylic and then charcoal drawings, mostly portrait and more recently I work with oils. Now I use whatever I feel is right for the moment. Texture pastes are great and gold foil has a part to play also.

My current work is on the theme of the land, the atmosphere of belonging and the colour of being.

I am excited to have the web site to share my art with you.Let me know what you think.

Warm Regards

The Healing Power of Art

From the local paper:

In January this year, at the age of 46, Necia Prior had a heart attack.

She still struggles to understand how and why it happened

Now recovered, she has found art as a useful outlet and the result is “Dreaming the Healing” which is now being exhibited at Waitara Arts Space, in McLean St, Waitara.

“The emotion the experience caused has been hard to describe, so I have placed my trust in art to be my confidante,” she explains.

Necia had been painting for nearly seven years and started because she could see paintings in her dreams.

In “Dreaming the Healing”, the Lepperton artist coins the phrase Land Escpaes.

The use of sunsets, waterfalls or vast horizons as well as space, movement and colour allows fast, effective ways for the mind to escape.

This unwinding creates a peaceful place to rest “away from everything is the real world”, she says

Necia’s other passion is writing. She has now written poetry, a book series for children, and a play that is destined for Playmarket NZ in December.

The exhibition runs until June 21

Opening hours at Waitara Arts Space are Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 3pm.
