Finding Our Way | Lake House Art Centre
A group show exploring expressions of wellbeing
The exhibition is a testament to the impact of creative expression on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Emerging artists Burnetta Van Stipriaan, Helen Harvey, and Ana Ferrari met through Wayfind Creative mentoring sessions. Although their art practices and backgrounds are diverse, they discovered a shared well-being narrative through creativity. They have found solace, catharsis, and fulfillment within their painting and printmaking practices.
About the Artists:
Burnetta Van Stipriaan is a self-taught, emerging artist whose works are informed by place and identity. Burnetta adapts the Samoan concept of va (the space in between) to invite reconnection. Her work delves into questions of self, belonging, and the environment. She donates 5% to the Ovarian Cancer Foundation New Zealand.
Helen Harvey (Pākehā, Māori) is an abstract painter and mixed media artist. Her work is cultural and political, inspired by a sense of kaitiakitanga, and observing the interaction of humanity and the natural world.
Ana Ferrari - Ana’s search for peace evolved into a meaningful exploration of the power of creative expression and well-being. Ana is also an entrepreneur (Luna, Art+ Play) and a practitioner of The Three Principles Of Innate Mental Health. Ana’s more recent work was produced at Toi Ora Living Trust studio and 5% of the proceeds would be donated back to it.
